Jamaican-born novelist and sociologist Erna Brodber describes Myal as “an exploration of the links between the way of life forged by the people of two points of the black diaspora—the Afro-Americans and the Afro-Jamaicans.” Operating on many literary levels—thematically, linguistically, stylistically—it is the story of women’s cultural and spiritual struggle in colonial Jamaica. The novel opens at the beginning of the 20th century with a community gathering to heal the mysterious illness of a young woman, Ella, who has returned to Jamaica after an unsuccessful marriage abroad. The Afro-Jamaican religion myal, which asserts that good has the power to conquer all, is invoked to heal Ella, who has been left "zombified” and devoid of any black soul. Ella, who is light skinned enough to pass for white, has suffered a breakdown after her white American husband produced a black-face minstrel show based on the stories of her village and childhood. This cultural appropriation is one of a series Ella encountered in her life, and parallels the ongoing theft of the labor and culture of colonized peoples for imperial gain and pleasure. The novel‘s rich, vivid language and vital characters earned it the Commonwealth Writers’ Prize for Canada and the Caribbean. The novel links nicely with Brodber’s coming-of-age story, Jane & Louisa Will Soon Come Home, also from Waveland Press, for its similar images, themes, and specific Jamaican cultural references to colonialism, religion, slavery, gender, and identity. Both novels are Brodber’s way of telling stories outside of published history to point out the whitewashing and distortion of black history through religion and colonialism.

This manuscript has been composed over a while. The beginning of it was written some time back and the last half has been recent. It has seen its share of additions, deletions and adjustments. Yet the constancy that has remained has been a need to convey insights into life, humanity and the undying perseverance of that which causes one to hold on, to endure, to be honest with oneself, to smile through tears, and remain steadfast and determined; love and spirit, heart and soul, endurance, perseverance and determination to live instead of merely exist. Truth with all of these is freeing, my words as included in these works, demonstrates this. Having chosen to bring into the heart many a person whose existence and life crossed paths with mine, it was what I saw in them as they passed by that caused me to take notice and hold on. Sadly however, and more often than not, they failed to see the beauty that is within them. With my writings, I sought to place a mirror before them so as to show that what some individuals have been blessed with being able to convey, they also possess. It is my belief that the greatness that is aspired to in heart and soul … is within each of us.
