Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. There have been one or two popular novels that deal with the descent of Jamaica into political warfare in the late 70s and 80s, but Brian Meeks' novel has both the authentic insights of someone who was as an activist student leader at the centre of the events looked back on, and theshaping of art rather than sensation. Brian Meeks' novel is a moving requiem for the years when an extraordinary ferment in Jamaican society, when reggae and Rastafarian dreams reached from the ghettoes to the University campus, and idealistic young men and women threw themselves into the struggle to free independent Jamaica from its colonial past. In portraying the violent death of those hopes and the different ways in which the participants try to repair their lives, Meeks' sensitively written and well-structured novel speaks powerfully to the present, when even now, Jamaica's political divisions erupt into killings on the streets. The novel begins with the release from jail after eleven years of a young Rastafarian who was involved in the political violence that erupted when forces hostile to the radical socialist currents within the 1972 Manley administration sought to destabilize Jamaican society.As Mikey takes a minibus through Kingston, his story is told as a series of carefully crafted flashbacks. A series of encounters and the memories they provoke reveal that few have escaped unscathed from those years: there are the dead, the imprisoned, the maddened, the turncoats, and those like Mikey who carry the burden of those times. Mikey is released from prison after an 11 year sentence for his involvement in the political violence which erupted in Jamaica in 1972. His story is told as a series of flashbacks which reveal that few have escaped unscathed from that year. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condition: New. Brian Meeks's novel is a moving requiem for the years of an extraordinary ferment in Jamaican society, when reggae and Rastafarian dreams reached from the ghettoes to the University campus, and idealistic young men and women threw themselves into the struggle to free independent Jamaica from its colonial past. In portraying the the temptations towards tribal revenge that corrupted the vision of change, Meeks's sensitively written and well-structured novel speaks powerfully to the present, when even now, Jamaica's political divisions erupt into killings on the streets.As Mikey Johnson takes a minibus through Kingston on his release from eleven years in jail, what he sees and the persons he meets provoke memories of the years when those who sought to destabilize Jamaican society, fearful of the radical socialist direction it was taking, unleash a virtual civil war. His encounters reveal that few have escaped unscathed from those years: there are the dead (in body and in spirit), the wounded, the turncoats, and those like himself who are condemned to carry the burden of those times. Mikey's quest to discover why he survived when his friend Carl and lover, Rosie, were killed in a shootout with the police draws him to look for Caroline, the other woman he was involved with before his imprisonment. From her he discovers a bitter truth about Jamaica's unwritten code of class and its role in his survival.One of the encounters is, we learn in a postscript to the novel, with Rohan, Rosie's brother. Rohan has suffered this loss deeply, but has survived to move forward, while Mikey, with the stigma of his imprisonment, is trapped in the past. It is Rohan who tells Mikey's story, a revelation that casts a reflexive light on the relationship between the actual writer and his subject.Brian Meeks was born in Montreal, Canada of West Indian parents and grew up in Kingston, Jamaica. He has taught political science at the University of the West Indies, Mona for many years.
