What can be said and not said, is known and not known
Reading Jean Rhys’s “The Imperial Road” (2001) in the context of Katherine Anne Porter’s “The Journey” (1934) and Fanny Kemble’s Journal of a Residence on a Georgian Plantation (1863) enables us to see how all three were attempting to write against White racism in different eras whilst still themselves not free of its cultural indoctrination.

The Questions Kamau Asked of Us
Kamau Brathwaite left us just before COVID-19 changed our world. This memoriam essay explores the questions his work poses in his role as mentor/teacher/Griot to other writers, toward whom he was always very generous and encouraging.

African Women's Voices on Film
These three films are engaging, often profoundly provocative or disturbing, and have the great strength of giving rural or displaced African women a direct voice within the English-speaking global community. Many issues are raised here which speak to women everywhere: that women should have control of their bodies; that women should be paid a fair wage for their labor within capitalist economies; that traditions are cohesive and strengthening for…
