The Chosen Place, The Timeless People

The Chosen Place, The Timeless People

The chosen place is Bourneville, a remote, devastated part of a Caribbean island; the timeless people are its inhabitantsâ€”black, poor, inextricably linked to their past enslavement. When the advance team for an ambitious American research project arrives, the tense, ambivalent relationships that evolve, between natives and foreigners, black and whites, haves and have-nots, keenly dramatize the vicissitudes of power.
