520 1 $a"The story is unified by the actions of one man, Mankunku, a "destroyer," who is born in mysterious circumstances in a banana plantation, and whose identity is as mercurial as that of his land. We follow his development along with that of his unnamed country, from the pre-colonial era, through the horrors of European subjugation, to independence and the complexities of the postcolonial nation.
520 8 $aAlong the way, we meet charlatans and saints, workers and bureaucrats, warriors and peacemakers, in a moving melange of laughter and terror."--BOOK JACKET.
