The Land Of Look Behind by Michelle Cliff
The book is a poignant exploration of identity, history, and the enduring impact of colonialism in Jamaica. Through the eyes of its protagonist, a Jamaican woman who returns to her homeland after years in the United States, the narrative delves into the complexities of her personal journey and the island's tumultuous past. As she reconnects with her roots and confronts the ghosts of slavery and oppression that haunt the landscape, the story weaves a rich tapestry of memory, culture, and the search for belonging in a land marked by beauty and scarred by injustice.
