Synopsis: Synopsis:
Winner of the 1997 Commonwealth Writers Prize, this rich and masterly novel follows the progress of a national liberation campaign of sorts — a welcoming of the diverse population of Trinidad to the New World nearly one hundred years after Emancipation. Afford George, a teacher turned politician, and Bango Durity, a worker-activist, lead the way. Salt is narrated in lyrical voices, "in a generous, torrential prose that seems to hold every complexity — of history, of ethnicity, of reason and magic alike — within its rushing energy" (New York Times Book Review).
