A Trinidadian-American writer and activist explores motherhood,
migration, and identity—and how it relates to land, imprisonment,
and genocide for Black and Indigenous peoples. Having moved to
Copenhagen, Denmark from Brooklyn over 18 years ago, Brown attempts to
contextualize her and her son’s existence in a post-colonial and
supposedly post-racial world, where the very machine of so-called
progress has been premised upon the demise of her lineage. Through
letters to her son, Brown writes the past into the present—penned
from the country that has been declared “The Happiest Place in the
World”—creating a vision that is a necessary alternative to the
dystopian one currently being bought and sold.
