Following his death in police custody just days later, the island nation surged with violence in a long-overdue demand for justice from the marginalized populations of the African island off the coast of Madagascar.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eKaya Days\u003c\/em\u003e, the spirit of the island and its many people--Hindu, Muslim, Chinese, Franco-Mauritian, and Creole--is distilled into a young woman's daylong search through the uproar for her younger brother, who has gone missing. Amid burning cars and buildings, opportunists and revolutionaries, Santee rises into another world, a furious, brilliant one. An exhilarating journey into night from a small Hindu village to the big city, and from innocence into womanhood, Carl de Souza's surreal English-language debut, artfully translated from French by Jeffrey Zuckerman, is an explosion of politics and poetry, a humid dream-world of revolutionary fervor where seemingly anything--everything--is possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Carl de Souza\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1949641198\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781949641196\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Two Lines Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/14\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 178\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.90h x 4.40w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/23\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eForeword\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/26\/2021","brand":"Carl de Souza","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44050805129471,"sku":"9781949641196","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_172437c9-6bae-4d70-9ea2-80f002d7d7ca.jpg?v=1685009350","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/kaya-days-carl-de-souza-9781949641196","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
