In today's article, we're going to review the 7best self-defense canes on the market for every use case. We'll also walk you through the basics of becoming a trained cane fighter - if that's your goal. Cane Warriors’ narrator is 14-year-old Moa, who is on the cusp of becoming a man. He’s informed by another plantation worker that there is going to be a rebellion on Easter Sunday, when the slave owners and the overseers will all be together.

In Alex Wheatle’s young adult book Cane Warriors we meet fourteen year old Moa who is enslaved on the Frontier sugar cane plantation. He is in the middle of harvest season, he hasn’t seen his mother in over two months because she is serving in the Enslaver’s house and his father also is kept working for long and exhausting hours. With the recent death of a plantation beloved woman Moa starts considering what freedom would feel like. Alex Wheatle writes from a place of honesty and passion with the full knowledge and understanding that change can only happen through words and actions’ Steve McQueen (director 12 Years a Slave, Hunger, Shame, Widows and the upcoming Small Axe BBC series) A: I wanted to capture the essence of the Cane Warriors and so I couldn’t compromise the way they spoke. Language is very important for a conquered people because when you have lost everything, the only thing you may have left is the remains of your mother’s tongue. For me, that is very important for the characters in Cane Warriors and still important today. I believe it adds to the identity of the enslaved peoples of the Caribbean.A self-defense cane will have notched gripping surfaces on the shaft (top and bottom). They're there to help you hold the cane during a fight.

A: For young readers, or indeed, any reader, I really hope Cane Warriors gives them a greater understanding of the impact of slavery and its inhumane brutality in Jamaica. And throughout this evil of colonial repression, great heroes emerged that shouldn’t be forgotten. The main genres displayed in this informative narrative are adventure, history and it is a true account of unmentionable events that occurred. I would recommend this book as a great read for ages between 12 and 15 year olds who are interested in history and adventures.This is a vital part of British and Jamaican history bought vividly to life. Alex Wheatle has reclaimed our ancestors and given them have the voice they were denied’ Catherine Johnson This was a brilliantly written book; I enjoyed that it was written in dialect. It’s a sad and horrifying story of slavery that needs to be heard by everyone. There were parts where I simply couldn’t stop myself from crying.
