{"product_id":"book-cjxu","title":"Guerrillas","description":"\u003cp\u003eOn an unnamed Caribbean Island, political tensions provoked by race and poverty are high. Jimmy Ahmed, a young mixed-race man, has been hailed as a revolutionary leader of the people. Roche, imprisoned for activities against South Africa's apartheid regime, and Jane, a feckless English rich girl wanting to feel a part of something bigger, get sucked into the turmoil and world of Ahmed. But does anyone achieve anything by causing unrest? Do any of them really want freedom in a new society or just the old society with themselves at the helm of power? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten in the politically turbulent 1970s, \u003ci\u003eGuerrillas\u003c\/i\u003e takes aim at the sacred cows and myths of revolutionaries-how so many of them \"huff and puff,\" knowing that the house will never blow down. From the safest places come the bravest words.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNaipaul's bleak tale also takes aim at flaws in Marxist and revolutionary ideology-at the idea that one can predict or manipulate how the \"revolution\" will turn out. His characters are lost souls trying to navigate a postcolonial world where racism, classism, and conflicting ideals create a festering unrest that no one knows how to fix. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blackstone Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49293716062512,"sku":"BDcjxu","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":49293716095280,"sku":"ZEcjxu","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio MP3-CD","offer_id":49293716128048,"sku":"ZMcjxu","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/cjxu-Square-cover.jpg?v=1775846128","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-cjxu","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
