Sobre este artículo
Beltsville, Maryland: Demerara Press, May 1997. Paperback. First Edition. Fine. Inscribed by the author on the title page, otherwise As New. Not from a library. No remainder mark. 223 pages.
Black-Water Women explores the tensions between men and women in the Guyanese culture of the 40's, 50's and 60's as well as the tensions among immigrants transplanted to the United States. The stories are told from the point of view of Sara and her mother Cleo, Tina, and Sanka, who live beside the Demerara River whose waters, black and mysterious, threaten to engulf their bodies and souls. The reader can empathize with these women whose triumphs and tragedies mirror those of women the world over. This novel also gives the reader the opportunity to explore Guyana's unique culture of the period and laugh at the characters' idiosyncrasies while sympathizing with their predicaments.
