Christian (Consignment)Your Time is Done Now tells the story of the Africans who resisted slavery by force of arms on Dominica and escaped into the island's thickly forested interior to carve out liberated zones. It is a fascinating and little known history of slave resistance in the Caribbean; and well told by Polly Patullo; with a foreword by Bernard Wiltshire. Wiltshire was an independence activist on Dominica in the 1970s Pan Caribbean; Pan African and pro socialist ferment of that era. His preface locates this history within the framework of a continuing need to expand the boundaries of democracy and freedom. Polly Patullo; the founder of Papillote Press is a progressive Briton and Dominica resident who has done much to retell the story of Phyllis Shand Allfrey; a hero of the working class and self government movement on Dominica. Patullo clearly has a sympathies with the plight of the downtrodden and a discerning eye toward the need to report Caribbean history which reflect those voices have seldom been heard. The story of slave resistance on Dominica can only find parallels in Jamaica; and certain areas of Brazil; Suriname and Colombia; where freed Africans were able to found liberated zones. Well done!
