Sunset on the Horizon (Where it all Started) Part One

Beschreibung

Asinwah has met the man of her dreams. The couple fall in love and marry. Buccra John is an ambitious man who seeks opportunities. He is flawed to the core. His mother, Dulcimina is understanding. Mama Margaret and Nacummah teach patience. This text examines the social history of the people 'who came' to the island. Does Asinwah become a functioning member of Jamaica's 'New World' and its 'New Tribe'? The text explores decisions made in the 1700s and how they still impact Jamaica and its people today. Cubah, on the other hand, meets a Freedom Fighter who takes her on a journey that introduces her, to her Sankofa on the Long Mountain Range. The characters in this story take a journey - one that represents, TIME PAST, TIME PRESENT AND TIME FUTURE.

Autor

Sunset on the Horizon a Jamaican Maroon Woman's story cannot be understood without delving into the protagonist's history. Without Marinah's mother, Asinwah, there would be no Maroon Woman's Story or even Cubah for that matter. Asinwah's story is key to understanding Marinah's journey as a Windward Maroon. Asinwah's story delves into the first years, when Jamaica became a colony. It explores the lives and times of a determined people and how some coped with dislocation and unbelonging. Waters Wom'd & Ebb'd is where Sunset on the Horizon a Maroon Woman's Story all began.
