The narrative centers on Poonwa, who seeks to establish a Hindu mission in Canada as revenge against the oppressive white missionaries in Trinidad. His father, Choonilal, resists borrowing money from a corrupt priest, igniting village-wide conflicts that distract from everyday issues. This rediscovered classic, first published in 1974, offers a bold, humorous exploration of Trinidadian village life, challenging colonial narratives and embracing complex sexualities. With a foreword by Kevin Jared Hosein, it highlights Harold Sonny Ladoo's sharp observations and the importance of self-representation.
