Drawing upon the works and interviews of James Baldwin, Audre Lorde, June Jordan, Roger Reeves, Morgan Parker, Safia Elhillo, Aria Aber, and Solmaz Sharif, among others, DISLOCATIONS seeks to investigate and disrupt the dominant narratives of exile and displacement (which often excludes Black Americans) and what Roger Reeves refers to as our "American complicity," referring to our simultaneous roles as victim and victimizer, and the fact that we benefit from the exploits of empire, whether we directly support our government, or consider ourselves "proud Americans," or not.

The Cub Among Lions
8 years old Aarya was raised in silence, in fear, and in chains. She never knew a life beyond bruises and rules - where food was a privilege, smiles were sins, and love was just a myth. For eight years, she lived under the iron hand of her mother and her cruel boyfriend, taught to be invisible and obedient or be punished. She didn't know family, joy, or even her own worth. Until one day, everything changed. When her abusers were arrested in a drug bust, Aarya thought she was finally free. But freedom was a lie. Because this time she is captured by a monster even more dangerous, a ghost from the underworld, long thought dead. Where she learns a truth more unbelievable than fiction: she is not alone. She is the daughter of Satyaveer Malhotra - one of the most feared mafia dons in the country - and sister to three ruthless crime lords. Thrown from hell into a den of lions, Aarya finds herself in a world she cannot understand - a world of power, guns, secrets, and brothers who speak in bullets and silence. Cold, broken, and dangerous - they don't know how to love. And neither does she. But blood remembers. And somewhere beneath the scars, loyalty, and violence... a family begins to rise..........

Abandoned - A Tale of Malaal
"Vikram... please..." Naina cried softly as he dragged her down the grand staircase of the Rathore mansion. Her tears blurred her vision while her trembling hands tried to loosen his painful grip around her wrist. "I didn't steal anything..." But Vikram didn't stop. "Get out!" he said dangerously quiet, throwing her bag near her feet. Naina looked at him shattered completely. "Suniye... main kaha jaungi...?" she asked broken.
