| Publisher Description: Exploring one of the most broken of Caribbean cultural fragments, these seven short stories delve into the world of the Amerindians, Guyana's most impoverished and marginalized ethnic group. Detailing a culture that has long been dismembered by missionary activity throughout the Caribbean, this compilation creates a dreaming consciousness of a number of protagonists, allowing readers to participate within the culture's myths and discover alternative realities to dominant historical images. |
