Plantation Memories: Episodes of Everyday Racism 1 May, 2021

by Grada Kilomba

( 6 )

₹ 1,995.52

Plantation Memories is a compilation of episodes of everyday racism written in the form of short psychoanalytical stories. From the question “Where do you come from?” to Hair Politics to the N-word, the book is a strong, eloquent, and elaborate piece that deconstructs the normality of everyday racism and exposes the violence of being placed as the Other.

Released at the Berlin International Literature Festival in 2008, soon the book became internationally acclaimed and part of numerous academic curricula. Known for her subversive practice of giving body, voice, and image to her own texts, Grada Kilomba has adapted her book into a staged reading and video installation. Plantation Memories is an important contribution to the global cultural discourse.

In ›Plantation Memories‹, einer Sammlung von Kurzgeschichten in englischer Sprache, geht Grada Kilomba – eine in Lissabon geborene Schriftstellerin, Dozentin und Psychologin mit Wurzeln in São Tomé und Príncipe – Erinnerungsspuren an Sklaverei und Kolonialismus nach. Sie beschreibt den alltäglichen Rassismus als psychologische Realität, als gewaltsamen Schock, der Schwarze Menschen plötzlich in eine koloniale Situation stürzt und dabei aus ihrer Verbindung mit der Gesellschaft reißt. Völlig unerwartet trifft in dieser lyrischen Prosa Vergangenheit auf Gegenwart, und die Gegenwart wird erlebt, als wäre sie die furchtbare Vergangenheit, auf die der Titel des Buches verweist.

Indem sie postkoloniale Theorie, Psychoanalyse und poetisches Erzählen miteinander verknüpft, ermöglicht Grada Kilomba einen erhellenden Blick auf Alltagsrassismus, Erinnerung, Trauma und Dekolonisierung. ›Plantation Memories‹ ist unverzichtbar für alle, die sich für Afrikanistik, Postkolonialismus, Kritische Weißseinsforschung und Psychoanalyse interessieren.

*******

›Plantation Memories‹ explores everyday racism. It is a compilation of episodes approaching racism as a psychological reality.
Everyday racism, argues Grada Kilomba, is experienced as a violent shock which suddenly places the Black subject in a colonial scene – depriving one’s link with society. Unexpectedly, the past comes to coincide with the present and the present is experienced as if one were in that agonizing past, as the title ›Plantation Memories‹ announces.

Linking postcolonial theory, psychoanalysis and poetic narrative, Grada Kilomba provides a new and inspiring interpretation of everyday racism, memory, trauma and decolonization in the form of short stories. The book is essential to anyone studying African studies, postcolonialism, critical whiteness and psychoanalysis.
