520			_aA novel of Martinique through the eyes of its people. Narrated by a black woman activist, the story spans 150 years, describing the end of slavery, the collapse of the sugar plantations, the coming of the oil companies and the new relations with France, of which the island is a department. By the author of Creole Folktales. In a narrative composed of short sequences, each recounting episodes or developments of moment, and interspersed with extracts from fictive notebooks and from statements by an urban planner, Marie-Sophie Laborieux, the saucy, aging daughter of a slave affranchised by his master, tells the story of the tormented foundation of her people's identity. The shantytown established by Marie-Sophie is menaced from without by hostile landowners and from within by the volatility of its own provisional state. Hers is a brilliant polyphonic rendering of individual stories informed by rhythmic orality and subversive humor that shape a collective experience--From product description.
