Everything you need to understand or teach Fire Rush by Jacqueline Crooks.
Spanning a period of time from the late 1970s to the early 1980s, Fire Rush tells the story of Yamaye, a young Jamaican woman living in Britain. As Yamaye deals with love, heartache, friendship, and police brutality, her journey to find herself and learn the truth about her missing mother takes her from London, to Bristol, and eventually back to her homeland, Jamaica. Fire Rush deals with themes of race, class, violence, and gender.
