The plantation owners: Garnier, a curt and aloof French Royalist and his wife Catherine, a poet and abolitionist, try to use Bernelle in their plan to capture Bwigan and turn him over to the British.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eTake Me to Mon Repos\u003c\/em\u003e, presented here in both English and in Kw?y?l as \u003cem\u003eMennen Mwen Mon Repos\u003c\/em\u003e, provides an illustration of the political, economic, cultural, and spiritual dynamics that spurred the process of creolization in the Caribbean. The play gives expression to a dream of home; a desire to create a new space. It heralds the shaping of a creole persona out of shattering worlds and the fashioning of a creole yard for healing and tranquility. To reach Mon Repos, would be to attain the dream of wholeness and peace. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Travis Weekes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1953747310\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781953747310\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/05\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 118\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.27lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.32d","brand":"Travis Weekes","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46384207921407,"sku":"9781953747310","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_834e023a-7f00-4e24-8e0f-f45a624ca5e0.jpg?v=1733283053","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/take-me-to-mon-repos-travis-weekes-9781953747310","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
