Kompletní popis

This work brings together an election day massacre in colonial Martinique; a "mad" artist who lives in a cave; a satirical wooden bust of a white colonel; the artist's banishment to the Devil's Island penal colony for "impertinence"; and a young anthropologist who arrives in Martinique in 1962, on the eve of massive modernization. In a stunning combination of scholarship and storytelling, award-winning anthropologist, Richard Price draws on long-term ethnography, archival documents, cinema and street theater, and Caribbean fiction and poetry to explore how one generation's powerful historical metaphors could so quickly become the next generation's trivial pursuit, how memories of oppression, inequality, and struggle could so easily become replaced by nostalgia, complicity, and celebration.
