Descriere magazin:
The semi-autobiographical, Caribbean novel that explores shifting race relations in early twentieth-century colonial Martinique, with a foreword by Martinican author Patrick Chamoiseau A Penguin Classic Following in the tradition of Richard Wright\'s Black Boy , Joseph Zobel\'s semi-autobiographical 1950 novel Black Shack Alley chronicles the coming-of-age of Jos , a young boy grappling with issues of power and identity in colonial Martinique. As Jos transitions from childhood to young adulthood and from rural plantations to urban Fort-de-France on a quest for upward mobility, he bears witness to and struggles against the various manifestations of white supremacy, both subtle and overt, that will alter the course of his life. His ally in this struggle is his grandmother, M\'man Tine, who fights her own weariness to release at least one child from the plantation village, a dirt street lined with the shacks of sugarcane workers. Zobel\'s masterpiece, the basis for the award-winning film Sugar Cane Alley , is a powerful testament to twentieth-century life in Martinique, with a foreword by award-winning Martinican author Patrick Chamoiseau.
