The geopolitics of empire had already prepared me for
this…coloniality constructs outsides and insides—worlds to be
chosen, disturbed, interpreted, and navigated—in order to live
something like a real self.Internationally acclaimed poet and novelist
Dionne Brand reflects on her early reading of colonial literature and
how it makes Black being inanimate. She explores her encounters with
colonial, imperialist, and racist tropes; the ways that practices of
reading and writing are shaped by those narrative structures; and the
challenges of writing a narrative of Black life that attends to its
own expression and its own consciousness.
