Excerpt from Abeng by Michelle Cliff….
I read this section about 6x…. Twice out loud.
Just to provide some context, a Jamaican slave owner just lost his petition to block the emancipation of enslaved Africans on the island. Rather than witness their freedom, he decided to burn down their quarters…..

ACTIONsss.
