DISLOCATIONS: ESSAYS

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.
