Some words to think on as we close out day 4 of Map at 20! #Mapat20

“It is this clarity and courage that Dionne Brand’s Map gives me as a Black woman, a mother, and a scholar. A way to see, to hurt, to feel, but also a way to dream, to move, to sit still. To live in relation and not possession. A way to be.” - @Adavis777A #Mapat20

"It took all the clues I had been accumulating about myself and ordered them with the most beautiful precision." - Andrea Davis at #Mapat20

Who says poetics & mathematics don't intersect? Any rhetorician or griot knows better. Knows how to divine for the (dis)order of the root.

“…each journey taking them beyond the laws mandate in their demise and into new configurations of life beyond death.” - @Adavis777A #Mapat20 2/2

[mapat20 @map2door20]

“This refusal to be contained by colonial cartographies, this recognition of the possibilities of flight and what Saidiya Hartman calls ‘waywardness,’ marks Black peoples’ journeys across the far reaches of the world as a diasporic practice of survival…” @Adavis777A #Mapat20 1/2

“…more than acknowledged or even fully conscious. It touches us but without full emerging as an object of cognition.” - @sojournerlife #Mapat20 5/5

[mapat20 @map2door20]

“What is the matter of history in which Dionne Brand offers guide?This history that arrives in the room with us is not the captors history, even as it is a history of captivity…” @sojournerlife #Mapat20 1/5

[mapat20 @map2door20]

“…as Brand observes, the door is not a place fixed in a particular territory in an exact epic or period, but rather the door is knowledge sense…” @sojournerlife #Mapat20 4/5

[mapat20 @map2door20]

“Instead Brand sutures her transatlantic collage of time and space with disruptions and displacements, reductions and erasures illuminate the efficacy of forgetting.” - @NegroBuilding 2/2 #Mapat20

[mapat20 @map2door20]

“To joined Dionne Brand in A Map to the Door of No Return is to take a journey quite distinct from the west well-worn genre of the epic that feeds great men with great risk, meeting with even greater rewards…” 1/2 @NegroBuilding #Mapat20
