Overview
«Samahani» significa «perdóname» en suajili, una palabra que contrasta con esta fábula de esclavitud, crueldad, amor y venganza ambientada en el Zanzíbar del siglo XIX. Entre el mercado de esclavos y los talleres de joyeros indios, Uhuru, una joven africana libre y experta en magia negra, cautiva a la hija del sultán. Mientras la revuelta se gesta en la isla, los personajes sueñan con huir hacia la costa oriental de África, una tierra de origen y de promesas.
“Samahani” means “forgive me” in Swahili—a word that stands in stark contrast to this fable of slavery, cruelty, love, and revenge set in nineteenth-century Zanzibar. Between the slave market and the workshops of Indian jewelers, Uhuru, a free African woman skilled in black magic, captivates the sultan’s daughter. As rebellion brews on the island, the characters dream of escape toward the East African coast, a land of origins and promise.
