Belize.
Set in Belize City in the early 1950s, Beka Lamb is the record of a few months in the life of Beka and her family. Beka and her friend Toycie Qualo are on the threshold of change from childhood to adulthood.
The basic theme is the struggle of the Creole population of Belize to hold on to their ethnic heritage and assert their civil rights while faced with opposition from the Hispanic community. (IMO, reading great literature should be seen as a privilege and an honor not a tedious obligation).

Beka Lamb's theme is mainly about the struggle for independence and a movement toward self sustainability. The book mirrors Belize's movement towards independence in the early 1980's.
The premise of Beka Lamb is based on Beka's achievement of winning the essay contest. Her family's thoughts of her changes overnight as she went from a 'flat-rate Belize creole' to a 'high mind'. It also describes the surroundings, state of living, ( which is middle class ), and politics. Also, to keep in mind the 1st chapter is placed after Toycie died from the mango tree.
