Leigh McCaulay left Jamaica for New York at fifteen following her parents’ divorce. In the wake of her mother’s death fifteen years later, she returns to the island to find her estranged father and the family secrets he holds. Her story is told against the background of two other McCaulays who arrived in Jamaica in the 18th and 19th centuries. As a white Jamaican, Leigh has to think about her own belonging. Back In Jamaica after years away, Leigh McCaulay encounters the familiarity of home along with the strangeness of being white in a black country, and struggles with guilt and confusion over her part in an oppressive history of white slave owners and black slaves. As Leigh begins to make an adult life on the island, she learns of her ancestors – Zachary Macaulay, a Scot sent as a young man to be a bookkeeper on a sugar plantation in 18th century Jamaica who, after witnessing and participating in the brutality of slavery, becomes an abolitionist; and John Macaulay, a missionary who comes to Jamaica in the 19th century to save souls and ends up questioning the foundations of his beliefs. Part historical and part contemporary literary fiction, loosely based on the author’s own family history, Huracan explores how we navigate the inequalities and privileges we are born to and the possibilities for connectedness and social transformation in everyday contemporary life. But it is also the story of an island’s independence; of the people who came (those who prospered and those who were murdered); of crimes and acts of mercy; and the search for place, love and redemption.

Comment penser la question raciale lorsqu’on est blanc ? Telle est la question que pose ce livre. La mort de George Floyd – après tant d’autres – et le mouvement qu’elle a suscité ont montré que la question raciale ne concerne pas seulement les «racistes» ou les personnes qui en sont victimes, mais bien l’ensemble de la société. Pourtant, la question raciale reste largement impensée du côté des Blancs. Cet essai montre comment, du fait de l’héritage des systèmes raciaux européens, les Blancs vivent toujours dans une «maison blanche» : une disposition intellectuelle, psychologique et affective qui altère leur regard et leur façon d’être au monde. L’auteur retrace, à partir d’expériences personnelles, les contours et les formes de cette situation, sans céder à la culpabilisation ou à l’angoisse que suscite souvent cette question. L’objectif de la prise de conscience qu’il propose n’est pas «d’aider» ceux qui ont été ou sont les cibles des systèmes raciaux européens, mais de nous défaire de ce biais cognitif et affectif fondamental, afin de faire advenir un nouveau rapport au monde, et à nous-mêmes.
