Description
Duppy Conqueror by Dennis tells the powerful story of Marshall Sarjeant's epic journey to overcome a curse that has been placed on his family. Born at the beginning of the 20th century in Jamaica, Marshall embarks on a quest to return to Africa, where his ancestors were brought as slaves.
His travels take him to wartime Liverpool and London, where he marries and becomes part of a vibrant clubland crowd. In Africa, he finds a continent struggling to escape its colonial past. Returning to Jamaica, Marshall's life turns full circle in his mission to defeat the duppy, or ghost, that started him on his journey.
This narrative of the Afro-Caribbean experience seamlessly blends personal and political themes, making it as relevant today as when it was first published in 1998. Ferdinand Dennis's powerful story is a compelling exploration of identity, culture, and history.
