Note:
"In 1950-1951, she traveled, mostly a single woman alone, from island to island on local transportation, visited out of the way places, shunned the usual tourist attractions for the most part, often lived in the homes of the common people and kept a daily diary. From the diary she shared her experiences with her students and forty years later wrote this book. When asked why she waited so long to write the book, she confided to Howard Kleinberg, a fellow Miami-Dade historian, 'It would have been difficult to write it just after her journey because (on the trip) she had lived with some black families on the islands and it wouldn't have been widely accepted in that segregated era to write about such relationships"--Introd
