Description

A young woman leaves London to attend a funeral in Kingston, Jamaica. While on the island, she reflects upon the difficulties she and other Caribbean women encounter in the UK. As a result, Cubah embarks upon a spiritual, physical and mental journey. She 'finds' herself through a mysterious encounter with a freedom fighting Maroon. The young woman learns to appreciate the many connections that exist between modern day Jamaica and ancient Africa. She learns a new respect for her ancestors, who were the gate-keepers of all life-forms before Europeans invaded the continent. The Maroons taught Cubah that colonisation, motivated by greed, led to the decimation of people, cultures, natural resources, animals and the environment. They taught her that it was not the beginning of civilisation but the end. The moving tale introduces the reader to the importance of Sankofa and the coming of age of the protagonist. The riveting story is told through a gamut of 'real life' characters, all of whom, represent TIME PAST, TIME PRESENT AND TIME FUTURE.
