Más información sobre el libro

The chosen place is Bourneville, a remote, devastated part of a Carribean island; the timeless people are its inhabitants -- black, poor, inextricably linked to their past enslavement. The advance team for an ambitious American research project arrives, and the tense ambivalent relationships that evolve -- between natives and foreigners, blacks and whites, haves and have-nots -- keenly dramatize the vicissitudes of power.
