Summary

An Indian boy living in Trinidad is sent to live with his aunt after his father is shot to death during a wedding. At his new school, he is isolated and picked on by the negro students because of his "coolie" (Indian) heritage. As tension builds during his very first day he is forced to stab one of the negro students as a means of defence to make it home alive. This incident gets Bim kicked out of school and his aunt's home and he is forced to live a life of violence and crime to survive. As Bim matures and becomes older, he becomes part of a political movement on behalf of the "coolies" whether or not greater tension would arise between his people and the negroes.
