The Sleepers of Roraima & The Age of the Rainmakers

Exploring one of the most broken of Caribbean cultural fragments, these seven short stories delve into the world of the Amerindians, Guyana’s most impoverished and marginalized ethnic group. Detailing a culture that has long been dismembered by missionary activity throughout the Caribbean, this compilation creates a dreaming consciousness of a number of protagonists, allowing readers to participate within the culture’s myths and discover alternative realities to dominant historical images.
