Question

In a novel by this author, the homeless man Clinton gives a history of the Haitian Revolution and discusses 13 theses about slavery while hosting “Liberation Radio Broadcasts.” That novel by this author opens and closes with a “Five Hundred Year Map” showing all of its characters’ paths to Tucson, including the TV psychic Lecha and her twin sister Zeta. A gust of wind catching a bonfire stops the protagonist of one of this author’s novels from interceding to kill a white-hating “destroyer” while hiding in an (*) abandoned uranium mine, which forms the last step of a ritual prescribed to him by the medicine man (-5[1])Betonie. This author of Almanac of the Dead (-5[1])wrote a novel in which the protagonist Tayo returns from serving in the Philippines in World War II to his drought-stricken New Mexico reservation.
