Jerome Quashee undergoes a religious ritual, blocking all sensual links to the outside world, in order to see clearly into his past and find the sources of the pain and guilt that torment his soul. H. Nigel Thomas writes with compelling honesty about the confusing maze of pressures that paralyse Jerome. His intelligence at first promises him a gateway out of the poverty his parents have known, but he must compete with privileged White boys for scholarships in a racist, class-ridden culture. He wrestles both with the guilt of knowing so little about his African heritage and the simultaneous pressure to think, speak and act as a White person. And he will bring disgrace on his family if he does not repress his emerging homosexuality.
