These islands exist outside of the modern realities of tourism, land theft and resource extraction.
Rather than centre the fantasy of the affluent white tourist, author Leone Ross has rooted these islands in the magical realism of the Caribbean imagination. The success of HBO’s “The White Lotus” and the rise of the Coconut Girl aesthetic on TikTok reflect that many people have island paradise on their mind. The fantasy of escaping to a tropical island certainly meets the moment. And what a relief after two summers of COVID, where the airports are largely closed and stressors are at an all time high.
The magical Caribbean islands of Popisho brim with colour and fun. “This One Sky Day”, also known as “Popisho”, is a perfect summer read.
