As such, the volume brings the individual perspectives and narratives of each participating artist to the fore, while also questioning how these various histories are interconnected and entangled.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWithin this context, migration and displacement are recurring themes that relate to a timeframe that begins with the Atlantic slave trade and continues until today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis fully illustrated catalogue will include essays by Salah M. Hassan, Manthia Diawara, Annie Paul, and Selene Wendt, as well as an essay and a selection of poems by Ishion Hutchinson.  Poems by Linton Kwesi Johnson, Kei Miller, Christian Campbell, and Nyugen E.
