Riassunto

In Cambridge Caryl Phillips explores the feelings of uncertainty that defined the period of time between the abolition of the slave trade and the emancipation of the slaves. It is the powerful and haunting story of Emily Cartwright, a young Englishwoman sent to visit her father's plantation in the West Indies, and of Cambridge, the plantation slave struggling to maintain his dignity in a transient world.
