From the rear cover
In this distinctive collection, Lolita Hernandez presents stories of characters making their way in a strange world. She draws on memories of growing up in Detroit with Caribbean roots to bring to life a hidden community of mothers, sons, daughters, friends, and neighbors who crave sun and saltwater, dance to calyspso music, and make callaloo, bakes, buljol, sanchocho, and pelau in their kitchens. In addition to being a compelling and colorful read, Making Callaloo in Detroit explores questions of how we assimilate and retain identity, how families evolve as generations pass, how memory guides the present, and how the spirit world stays close to the living.
