Réduits au rang de serfs ou de parias, agriculteurs et chasseurs sont résignés à leur type. Mais sur son lit de mort, Karanda ordonne à ses fils de fuir los angeles terre de servitude. Il leur lègue un totem, le sanglier, et leur interdit d’emprunter des vaches et de se mettre à los angeles merci des pasteurs.
Après l’avoir porté en terre, les fils de Karanda se dispersent de nuit et partent à l. a. recherche d’une terre qui ne sera ni octroyée ni révocable. Pendant des siècles, le testomony de Karanda est transmis par le poème généalogique, jusqu’au jour où le totem du sanglier devient le signe de ralliement d’une fraternité décidée à en finir avec l. a. guerre des castes et à instaurer une paix sturdy. Dans « Le totem des Baranda », l’obsession de l. a. liberté se nourrit du mythe, de l. a. nostalgie, de l’utopie, mais aussi, de bouleversantes histoires d’amour.
