Bantouville is a small paradise (once called Paris) which African genius has created from a swamp by the banks of the Sekuana (which natives call the Seine)... In this satirical novel, translated from the French by Alexandra B. Warren, blacks are the ruling class. They have colonized the Light Continent, and the black man's burden is the innate laziness of the white natives, who being nothing but overgrown children, frequently have to be carted off to prison in a White Maria.
