Book Description

Publication Date: September 1987 | ISBN-10: 0582785634 | ISBN-13: 978-0582785632

For more than three centuries the Maroons, former African slaves who escaped and won their freedom, lived in the wild Cockpit mountains of Jamaica. This is the tragic story of rivalry and hatred that split the community apart. A child is born to Tomaso, the Maroon leader. The child is albino - the white son of black parents. Consumed with jealousy, Tomaso's blood-brother Lago seizes upon the primitive fear surrounding the birth and turns it against both father and child. The author of this powerful, epic narrative, was one of the Maroon descendants and the official carver of the traditional Maroon village of Accompong. --- from book's back cover

4.0 out of 5 stars a good start, November 22, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Black Albino (Longman Caribbean Writer Series) (Paperback)

This is the first book I ever read on my own free will and I acually enjoyed it! It's about an Africa tribe in Jamaica and what happends when the chief, who finally has a son, finds out that his child's skin has no color.

It started my love of reading.
