Résumé
George Lamming-one of the Caribbean's most powerful literary voices-reimagines the age of European exploration to expose the deep scars of conquest, which Ngugi wa Thiong'o, perennial contender for the Nobel Prize, calls "one of the great political novels in modern 'colonial' literature"In this bold and visionary novel, George Lamming-one of the Caribbean's most powerful literary voices-reimagines the age of European exploration to expose the deep scars of colonial conquest.
A nameless Commander sets sail under imperial orders-somewhere between the 16th and 18th century-to locate the fabled island of San Cristobal, a place shrouded in myth and promise. But this is no ordinary voyage. As the expedition unfolds, it becomes a mirror of the imperial mind-ambitious, fractured, haunted by its own contradictions. With poetic intensity and philosophical depth, Natives of My Person journeys far beyond the seas it charts.
Through shifting perspectives and a richly layered narrative, Lamming unearths the personal and political dimensions of empire-its delusions, its violence, and the haunting legacy it leaves behind."George Lamming is not so much a novelist as a chronicler of secret journeys to the innermost regions of the West Indian psyche.glittering.an uninhibited journey to the heart of the colonizer." -The New York Times
