Manituana is a historical novel by the Wu Ming collective that gives voice to those who have none. The story focuses on the Indian peoples, who pay a high price for maintaining their freedom amidst conflicts and foreign struggles. The richly documented plot explores the historical context that led to the formation of the United States of America, encompassing exoduses, battles, spells, and journeys to both heaven and hell. The narrative crosses the Atlantic, beginning with the Seven Years' War and culminating with the independence of the United States, narrating the story from the perspective of the marginalized and exploring a time when everything was possible.
Wu Ming-yi is a multidisciplinary Taiwanese writer and scholar. Wu has published collections of essays, short stories and novels. He is best known for his novels The Man with the Compound Eyes and The Stolen Bicycle, the latter of which was longlisted for the International Booker Prize in 2018.
