But first, an epic spiritual battle must be played out.

In this love song to the Caribbean, Olive Senior authentically evokes the physical and spiritual worlds of its First Peoples and the survivorsindigenous and Africanwho will become the resistance fighters known in history as Cimarrones or Maroons.
