Riot

by Andrew Salkey

Book Overview

Gerald Manston and his friends Shifty and Fu lead pretty uneventful lives until the arrival of the "upheaval." When the opportunity arrives for a better way of life, the poor folks of Kingston, Jamaica--including Gerald--cannot resist the lure of excitement, danger, and change. This touching story not only discusses political issues, but also promotes family values.
