{"product_id":"9781771668767","title":"Oh Witness Dey!","description":"Two-timer I am, infatuated \nWith the country in which I love \nYearning in corners, around bends \nFor the one I grew up in \n\n\nShani Mootoo’             s great-great-grandparents were brought to Trinidad as indentured labourers by the British. There is no record of where they were from in India or whether it was kidnapping, trickery, or false promises of wealth that took them to the Caribbean. \n\n\nIn Oh Witness Dey! Mootoo expands the question of origins, from ancestry percentages and journey narratives, through memory, story, and lyric fragments. These vibrant poems transcend the tropes of colonial violence through saints and spices, rebellion and joy, to reimagine tensions and solidarities among various diasporas. They circumvent traditional conventions of style to find new routes toward understanding. They invite the reader to witness history, displacements and the legacies of our inheritance.","brand":"Book*hug Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":65529885950301,"sku":null,"price":14.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/3893\/2573\/files\/9781771668767.jpg?v=1790529921","url":"https:\/\/shop.gazellebookservices.co.uk\/products\/9781771668767","provider":"Gazelle Book Services","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
