Overview

"A novel about the impossible project of the African diaspora, and about how Black women and femmes persist in making and re-making this diaspora, regardless of the cycles of dispossession and violence stretching from the dawn colonialism into our present. The narrative unfolds on Blue Basin Island, a location that blends aspects of folklore, cosmology and physical space from Ghana's Volta Region, Haiti, and Louisiana, specifically New Orleans." --Abstract.
