Kungo Nights is a collection of short stories about Trinidad, its colonial history and people. The stories are posited as memories or memoirs of different figures in the intersecting histories of the people who lived in and around the fictional village of Kungo Pass. The author interweaves recurring characters, points in history, fictional and real events, with a special focus on the conflict and interaction between the African and Indian roots of Trinidadian culture, with its colonial history and emerging, modern identity, with strands of Black Nationalism, post-Colonialism, feminism, and Marxism infused throughout, often with passionate and at times, violent results. The author's descriptions of the characters' experiences bring them alive in the present while connecting them to their past, as a kind of timeless human experience.
