Synopsis
Winner of the first prize for novels at the Ecuadorian Concurso Nacional in 1942, Juyungo tells of the tough daily survival of the Afro-Hispanic inhabitants of Ecuador's Esmeralda coast. Ascensión Lastre—known as Juyungo—is a hunter, a woodsman, and a friend of the oppressed Indians of the forest. This tale of his journey from racism to class awareness has won acclaim as both a social statement and a literary achievement.
