Publisher's Synopsis
It is August 1985, and the final and deciding game of dominoes between rival teams from sugar plantation villages in Demerara, Guyana, is underway. The game is played out at a time when Guyana and its peoples were emerging from a history of struggle through slavery, indentured labour, political independence, racial unrest, mass migration and economic downturn. The game provides them with the opportunity to demonstrate their competitiveness, their search for unity and their resolve to face up to their challenges. Can they succeed as One People, One Nation?
