Description

In the vibrant and volatile London of the 1970s and 80s, Yamaye navigates a perilous young adulthood marked by music, protest, and the harsh realities of a racist society. When a brutal police attack shatters her world and a promising relationship, she is drawn into a powerful movement of resistance and criminality. This journey propels her from the heart of Britain to the shores of Jamaica, exploring themes of love, loss, and political awakening. Jacqueline Crooks crafts an incendiary and unforgettable coming-of-age story, rich with the pulse of British African-Caribbean culture and the raw energy of a generation finding its voice.
