The door, in Brand’s iconic schema, represents the point of rupture where the ancestors of the Black Diaspora departed one world for another: the place where all names were forgotten, and all beginnings recast. “This door,” writes Brand, “is not mere physicality. It is a spiritual location . . . Since leaving was never voluntary, return was, and still may be, an intention, however deeply buried. There is as it says no way in; no return.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThrough shards of history, memoir, lyrical investigation, and the unwritten experience of so many descendants of those who passed through the door, Brand constructs a map of this indelible region, culminating in an enduring expression, both definitive and seeking, of what it is to live, think, and create in the wake of colonization.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWith a new preface by the author, and an afterword by Saidiya Hartman.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"mobile-listen-to-a-clip\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"slot product-listen show\"\u003e\n\u003ca id=\"listenToAClip\" name=\"#listen-to-a-clip\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Macmillan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48015866888440,"sku":"9781250348845","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0471\/2156\/3811\/files\/AMaptotheDoorofNoReturn.png?v=1771950809"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.sscarletsweb.com\/collections\/african-canadian-black.oembed","provider":"Sscarlet's Web Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
