The reader is immersed in three centuries of history and the extraordinarily rich culture of the Saramaka. The erudite knowledge of Tooy, a Saramaka captain in Cayenne, French Guiana, is told here in an extremely lively way. The songs, the stories, the remedies, the secret languages, open the door to a conception of the world of great spirituality. And as Richard Price points out: "The history of this remarkable people, illustrated by Tooy's version, bears witness to the struggles of several generations of captive Africans and their descendants."
