Colonialism, race, myth and political awakening are the themes of this brilliant novel by Jamaican writer Michelle Cliff. Set in Jamaica, England and the US, it combines lyricism and naturalism in its story of a light-skinned woman named Clare whose search for place and self leads her into a world where the dividedness of being a person neither black nor white brings exceptional challenges.Michelle Cliff is the author of three critically acclaimed novels: Abeng, No Telephone to Heaven, and Free Enterprise (Plume). She was born in Jamaica. She has also published two poetry collections, The Land of Look Behind and Claiming an Identity They Taught Me to Despise, as well as a collection of short tales, Bodies of Water (Plume). Allan K. is her name. Smith is a Trinity College professor of English Language and Literature who splits her time between Hartford, Connecticut, and Santa Cruz, California.
