Descriere magazin:
The stories in this collection move around in time and place, but are linked by the experiences of the descendants of a Jamaican family of mixed Indian and African heritage. From Roaring River in rural Jamaica in 1908 where the descendants of African slaves make connections with new arrivals from Calcutta to work in the sugar cane fields, to Southall in 2013, where the Millers live alongside newer migrants from India, The Ice Migration is a poetic exploration of movement as central to the human condition, from the ancestors of the vanished Tainos in Jamaica who crossed the Behring Straits 40,000 years ago, to Tutus who is driven to separation from her family, to the constancy of moving on and ultimately return to Roaring River. The people of Jacqueline Crooks\' stories are deeply enmeshed in their African/Indian Jamaican world of dreams, visions, duppies and spiritual presences that connect them across time and place. What they discover beyond the strangeness of change of place and the hostilities they encounter is that life remains defined by its common crises - of birth, the complications of sexuality, sickness, old age, and death - and the comforts of food, stories and memory. About the Author Jacqueline Crooks is preoccupied with Caribbean migration and the supernatural and supranational stories that sustain the diaspora. Her stories have been shortlisted in the Asham Award and Wasafiri New Writing competitions and have appeared in Virago and Granta, the Woven Tale Press, and MsLexia. She has an MA in Creative and Life Writing from Goldsmiths University.
