In response to my last posting, after our discussion in class today, I realize that I was expecting a post-colonial type of literature, which this (The Dark Child) was obviously not.

But I still stand by my opinion that Camara had a lot of potential to at least hint at or foreshadow the kind of problems colonization could bring, and he really didn't. Which will disappoint me some no matter what subgenre or subclass The Dark Child is placed in.
