It brings to life the histories and events, the stories and myths of a displaced and exploited people, which have been lost in time, forgotten, or hidden from view. It is a journey in which the living, the dead, and the natural world communicate in music, language, and dream.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eManisha Anjali's first collection is an intensely imagined recovery of a little-known cultural inheritance, in which historical figures, folk characters, and mythical entities feature in a procession coloured by the metaphors of poetry and the surrealism of dreams. A community in northern Queensland, whose ancestors were indentured by the Colonial Sugar Refining Company, receive messages from their friends across the Tasman. A mysterious reel of film washes ashore, depicting harrowing violence on sugarcane plantations under the indenture system. The actors walk out of the film and into the world of the living. The community walks into the projection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47362928738540,"sku":"9781925818994","price":32.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/18515273482873.jpg?v=1772903622"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/manisha-anjali.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
