Description
xBARAWA "The Masters of the Ocean" as such is a novel that recounts the origin of the Garinagu, a people with a fascinating history, a subgenre on the chessboard of humanity, and the life of the Emperor of Mali Mansa Musa, whose empire was situated in West Africa and extended through the territory that today occupies southern Mauritania, Gambia, Senegal, Mali, Guinea, Chad, Niger, southern Algeria and Burkina Faso.
The novel is a recreational approach from the author's imagination based on historical, geographical and cultural information. Along with realities and consultation of archives of relatively classic and contemporary authors including: diaries of the chroniclers related to the theme of colonization, slave trade as well as the political decisions implemented by the British and French empires during the conquest of the Caribbean in the 16th and 18th centuries.
What we reveal in this novel are the words of the protagonists of the story, transcribed by the narrator, as a witness who returns to the scene of the events to understand the scalding, the catastrophe, the trauma as a performer and transmitter to the actors of the problem to know the fascinating history of the Garinagu and the Mali Empire of King Mansa Abubakar II.
The writer takes licenses and freedoms from the narrative of historical processes approached in a different way such as a new turn of re-thinking and re-inventing of the past that gives voice to those who did not have it from their condition of being victims so that, not only does it subvert the colonial order, but goes beyond the perspective of the defeated. It locates and understands the Garifuna from the hegemonic and romantic reading that supported the construction of the founding myth of conquest, colonization and evangelization.
