June, 1957. One hot afternoon in the backwaters of the Deep South, a young black farmer named Tucker Caliban salts his fields, shoots his horse, burns his house, and heads north with his wife and child. His departure sets off an exodus of the state’s entire black population, throwing the established order into brilliant disarray. Told from the points of view of the white residents who remained, A Different Drummer stands, decades after its first publication in 1962, as an extraordinary and prescient triumph of satire and spirit.

Esperavam em silêncio, pacientes, a cada hora, como se encerrados em caixões invisíveis, não mais dotados do poder de comunicação, nem mesmo possuindo algo para comunicar ao mundo ao redor ou entre si.
