Used book – La Plantation, Calixthe Beyala

Zimbabwe was their land, their domain, their paradise… Until the day the “democratically elected President for life” decided to expropriate the last of these white people who thought they were kings of the world, forcing them to fight or flee. Blues is eighteen. Her golden hair and fierce nature ignite all desires. The daughter of a wealthy landowner, sure of her superiority and education, she lived in a cloud of privilege, loved, cherished, courted. But under her white skin beats the heart of a woman born of this African land that she loves so much, and for which she is ready to fight and die… For the first time, a great Black writer puts herself in the shoes of white people, of colonizers. With this tumultuous and passionate fresco, Calixthe Beyala has created a true African Gone with the Wind, populated by violent and chimerical, cunning and naive, Black and White beings who struggle to invent a new life together.
