Book Description Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - "One enters a room and history follows; one enters a room and history precedes. History is already seated in the chair in the empty room when one arrives." Now entering its third decade in print, Dionne Brand s groundbreaking A Map to the Door of No Return has emerged as a modern classic, a disquisition on being in the Black diaspora. "This book is a world, a triumph of art and thought, a compass for the ages." David ChariandySince its first publication in 2001, Dionne Brand s groundbreaking disquisition on being in the Black diaspora, A Map to the Door of No Return, has emerged as a modern classic. The door, in Brand s iconic schema, represents the point of rupture where the ancestors of the Black diaspora departed one world for another: the place where all names were forgotten, and all beginnings recast. "This door," writes Brand, "is not mere physicality. It is a spiritual location. . . . Since leaving was never voluntary, return was, and still may be, an intention, however deeply buried. There is as it says no way in; no return." Through shards of history, memoir, lyrical investigation, and the unwritten experience of so many descendants of those who passed through the door, Brand constructs a map of this indelible region, culminating in an enduring expression, both definitive and seeking, of what it is to live, think, and create in the wake of colonization.With a new preface by the author, and a moving afterword by Saidiya Hartman.
