内容简介
Sam Selvon's "Moses Ascending" depicts West Indian Immigration
in England. Moses, a Trinidadian who has been in England for some
years now represents immigrants who come from all corners of the
world to seek a better life. Like many immigrants he is
hard-working. After years of living in a dingy basement he saves up
enough money to buy a house. Moses calls this his dream house in
the beginning of the book but later on he realizes that the house
is a piece of garbage.
