The Survivors of the Crossing

Meer over het boek

Set against the backdrop of 1961 Barbados, the narrative explores the tensions between the ruling "Labor" party and the disillusioned sugar estate workers questioning the legacy of slavery. Through a lens of acerbic comedy, it critiques the collusion of the landowning elite, the church, and their Black allies, exposing themes of ignorance and self-deception. This bleak tale serves as a microcosm for the political landscape, addressing the complexities of race and the absurdities of societal status and hypocrisy.
