Klappentext
Plantation Memories is a compilation of episodes of everyday racism written in the form of short psychoanalytical stories. From the question Where do you come from? to Hair Politics to the N-Word, the book is a strong, eloquent, and elaborate piece, which deconstructs the normality of everyday racism and exposes the violence of being placed as the Other.Released at the Berlin International Literature Festival (2008), soon Plantation Memories became internationally acclaimed and part of numerous academic curricula. Known for her subversive practice of giving body, voice and image to her own texts, Kilomba adapted her book into a staged reading (2012) and video installation (2018).
This fifth edition coincides with the 10th anniversary of the book release, commemorating Plantation Memories as an important contribution to the global cultural discourse.
