Notes:
This eponymous novel for young adults clearly reflects Salkey's abiding interest in building a meaningful canon of literature for Caribbean children and young people to counteract the influence of colonial literature. The novel is set in London, and Danny is the child of a British mother and a Jamaican father. He attends a school for postcolonial children and feels deeply displaced: "neither one thing nor another". In many ways, he speaks for other children in the school, including Chilean children whose families have fled the dictatorship. Danny finally connects intellectually and emotionally with Third World events and the Black Power movement. Note publication by Bogle-L'Ouverture.
