Sinopsis

The stories in this collection move around in time and place, but 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, who linger in spirit, 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.

Descripci�n de la librer�a

I will always provide accurate descriptions of my books - I specialize in SIGNED FIRST EDITIONS & MODERN FIRST EDITIONS but sometimes I just can't resist the odd artbook... I OBTAIN A LARGE CHUNK OF AUTHOR SIGNATURES IN PERSON (I attend many author events throughout the year giving my books excellent provenance) the rest I purchase from very reputable book dealers. If you have any queries get in touch: Zeitgeist-Books@hotmail.com
