Savage: When Cultures Collide, One Defines the Civilised (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781729490495)

What happens when cultures clash? Big Bang or Hiroshima? Karaya's innocent accounts betray a hidden secret: she's not that innocent. Savage tells the stories of the mixed race, half Taino, half Spanish narrator in 15th Century Haiti, whose father chopped off her mother's hands. From the unfortunate circumstances of her birth, to the murder of her mother, at the hands of her own brother, Karaya's stories are as intriguing as they are discomforting.Savage explores the ironies and subjectiveness of history, notions and assumptions about identity, placement and displacement within imagined class and power structures.
