“In Mana, a small Guyanese town of 1500 inhabitants, Amerindians, Europeans, Creoles, Blacks, Browns, Surinamese, Hmongs and Brazilians tell the story of… Awara broth, a kind of stew made from the awara – the fruit of a palm tree commonly found in French Guiana – and prepared by the Creole community on Easter Monday. It is said that anyone who eats this broth that day will never leave Guiana or, should they leave, will inevitably return…” (César Paes).
