Description

The Last of the African Kings follows the wayward fortunes of a noble African family.

It begins with the regal Behanzin, an African king who opposed French colonialism and was exiled to distant Martinique.

In the course of this brilliant novel, Maryse Conde tells of Behanzin's scattered offspring and their lives in the Caribbean and the United States.

A book made up of many characters and countless stories, The Last of the African Kings skillfully intertwines the themes of exile, lost origins, memory, and hope.

It is set mainly in the Americas, from the Caribbean to modern-day South Carolina, yet Africa hovers always in the background.
