Description

"Jamaican-born novelist and sociologist Erna Brodber describes Myal as "an exploration of the links between the way of life forged by the people of two points of the black diaspora -- the Afro-Americans and the Afro-Jamaicans." Operating on many literary levels -- thematically, linguistically, stylistically -- it is the story of women's cultural and spiritual struggle in colonial Jamaica."--Back cover.
