Review
“This is an energetic, very unusual, above all, enlightening novel; the author's best yet.”–The Financial Times

Product Description
    This is an energetic, very unusual, above all, enlightening novel;the author's best yet.

    - The Financial Times

A powerful and moving chronicle of the different ways in which members of a small Trinidadian community, Bonasse, hold on to their identity as they find themselves caught up in change and corruption. Bolo is a champion stick fighter, tall, good looking, and the fastest, strongest, and bravest of al the young men in Bonasse. When time and time again he sees his people humiliated by American troops, his instincts as a leader prevail. But the stand he makes takes on bizarre and tragic forms. Introduction by Marjorie Thorpe.
