Reimagining the Middle Passage

Meer over het boek

Focusing on the creative responses to the Middle Passage, Tara T. Green explores how African-descended artists and writers from the twentieth and twenty-first centuries have reinterpreted this historical trauma. She highlights their efforts to transform the Middle Passage from a symbol of suffering into one of resilience and understanding. By addressing the legacy of resistance against "social death," these creators affirm the significance of Black life and contribute to a broader discourse on identity and change.
