The chosen place is Bourneville, a remote, devastated part of a Caribbean island; the timeless people are its inhabitants--black, poor, inextricably linked to their past enslavement. When the advance team for an ambitious American research project arrives, the tense, ambivalent relationships that evolve -- between natives and foreigners, blacks and whites, haves and have-nots -- keenly dramatize the vicissitudes of power.
Offers a look at the political implications of forced modernization.

The Chosen Place, the Timeless People
This book was a lot of work, but I love Paule Marshall, and I was determined to get through it. In the end, it was worth it - especially for those who want a richer perspective of the late 20th century Black Atlantic, and one from a woman's point of view in particular. Also a fascinating look at the power dynamics involved with ethnographic fieldwork. This would be a great companion piece to some of Hurston's work on the subject.
