Description
Structured like a Creole quadrille, this lyrical novel is a rich ethnography bearing witness to police violence in French Guadeloupe. Narrators both living and dead recount the racial and class stratification that led to a protest-turned-massacre. Dambury's English debut is a memorial to a largely forgotten atrocity, yet it also celebrates the vibrancy and resilience of Guadeloupeans. The result is a powerful exploration of the complexities of identity and community in the face of systemic oppression. With its unique narrative structure and unflinching portrayal of historical trauma, this novel offers a thought-provoking and deeply moving reading experience.
