Emmanuel Iduma never met his uncle, his father’s favourite brother and the man for whom he is named. The elder Emmanuel left home in 1967 to fight in the Biafran War and was not seen again. The war lasted for three years, with young Igbo men volunteering to fight for a breakaway republic in the chaotic wake of British decolonization. Around one hundred thousand others who fought in the war share a fate like Emmanuel’s uncle, though there are no official records of these losses. The tensions that gave rise to the conflict remain live, threatening sometimes to bubble over.

Las tres historias que componen este libro tratan sobre la búsqueda. De esposos, padres e hijos que durante la sombría dictadura militar fueron detenidos, torturados y hechos desaparecer. De madres, esposas e hijas que decidieron no callar y que, mediante huelgas de hambre, recursos de amparo y protestas en la vía pública, nunca dejaron de ir tras los pasos de los responsables. De mujeres que bailaron la cueca en soledad, que no tuvieron miedo de los mecanismos de la represión, que decidieron decirle al mundo lo que ocurría en el país.
