July 1, 1991 • 6 x 9 • 160 pages • 978-0-918273-91-8
Full of native intuitions, Caribbean musical rhythms, Castilian and Moorish mood influences, Red Beans is a historic celebration and a quest, centered in family, culture and nation. Cooked in the Caribbean, Red Beans is a hearty concoction which spices up the English language with a rich combination of cultures and races.
