"Riot" by Andrew Salkey is a poignant exploration of social and political unrest in a Caribbean nation. The story unfolds in the wake of a violent protest, delving into the lives of various characters whose fates intertwine amidst the chaos. Salkey captures the essence of societal tensions and personal struggles, illustrating how the impact of a riot reaches far beyond the streets. As these individuals confront their own beliefs, fears, and desires, the narrative reveals the complexities of identity, resistance, and the quest for justice in a world plagued by inequality and turmoil.
