I'm translating The Golden Notebook, and I have some difficulties in comprehending several contexts. Can anyone here help me explain this phrase:

Oh, Africa! for soon the banana leaves will be senile with dark red, the red dust will be redder yet, redder than the new-lipsticked lips of my dark love, store-betrayed to the commerce-lust of the white trader.

Especially from "store-betrayed..." on ]]>
