Beschreibung

'Jaguarman, whoever you are and whatever you want to say, I'm ready to face it...'And so Raoul de Jong begins a seven-day ritual, following the instructions of an elderly Winti priestess he had met in Suriname, the home of his father, whom he barely knew until his late twenties. He had grown up in the Netherlands, a 'brown dot in a white world', knowing virtually nothing about his South American heritage. And then his father told him of a forefather who had been a Winti priest able to transform into a tigri, a jaguar - the most powerful creature in the jungle... Could this long-ago jaguarman have influenced his own life? In this intoxicating memoir, follow Raoul's search for personal meaning through the magic and history of his forefathers' land, and, by reading the voices of those who spoke against it, an awareness of the dark shadow of colonial oppression. His ultimate goal? To discover the real meaning of being a jaguarman.
