All the drama's outside.\"\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1999, the Mauritian musician Joseph Réginald Topize, better known as Kaya, was arrested for smoking weed while performing at a concert. Following his death in police custody just days later, the island nation surged with violence in a long-overdue demand for justice from the marginalized populations of the African island off the coast of Madagascar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eKaya Days\u003c\/em\u003e, the spirit of the island and its many people--Hindu, Muslim, Chinese, Franco-Mauritian, and Creole--is distilled into a young woman's daylong search through the uproar for her younger brother, who has gone missing. Amid burning cars and buildings, opportunists and revolutionaries, Santee rises into another world, a furious, brilliant one. An exhilarating journey into night from a small Hindu village to the big city, and from innocence into womanhood, Carl de Souza's surreal English-language debut, artfully translated from French by Jeffrey Zuckerman, is an explosion of politics and poetry, a humid dream-world of revolutionary fervor where seemingly anything--everything--is possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Two Lines Press","offers":[{"title":"Kaya Days | Carl de Souza | Quality | 9781949641196 | New | Fiction 1286879","offer_id":50550627238146,"sku":"1286879","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/410fPmo-wIL.jpg?v=1790470557","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/kaya-days","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
