Abstract from Southern Cultures:
Haunted by a deceptively simple question of origin, this is a story of Black bodies, unmoored from ancestral homelands, remembering that which was—and continues to be—dismembered by colonialism. It is, too, a story of possibilities and priorities, of Black bodies, in the wake of transatlantic displacement, renewing our allegiance to earth, and water, and the tending of life.
