Roger Mais (1905–1955)
Auteur van Brother Man (Caribbean Writers Series ; 10)
Over de Auteur
Mais spoke for the dispossessed black community of Jamaica. His novel "The Hills Were Joyful Together" (1953) is a devastating portrait of degradation and violence that uses a complicated symbolic structure. Set in a tenement yard in Kingston, the work focuses on a multitude of characters and their toon meer struggle merely to exist. In 1952, Mais left Jamaica, perhaps because of the negative reaction to the social voice in his work. The works published after he left his native country continue his preoccupation with the social constrictions of his time, and they show a growing tension between the concept of the artist's duty and the notion of the individual artistic conscience.
