Summary:

Denzil Douglas and the St Kitts-Nevis Labour Party have been elected to office by the people of St Kitts in three consecutive general elections. Dr Douglas is one of the Caribbean's most senior statesmen and he has led St Kitts & Nevis during an increasingly liberalised world trade environment as well as through a series of natural disasters that brought much damage to the Federation and set the government back in its ambitious plan to bring a higher standard of living to its citizens.Coming of Age is a must-read for politicians, academicians and general readers who want to learn more about the policies and programmes of the St Kitts & Nevis government as the evolved under Denzil Douglas's administration during his first two terms in office. This collection of speeches by Prime Minister Douglas elucidates the special challenges and obstacles faced by today's microstates and shows how strong leadership and a consistent philosophy have helped the twin-island nation to exceed expectations and make real progress in developing a modern state in today's increasingly interdependent world.
