Reviews

"To Be Nsala’s Daughter is an impressive feat of scholarship, and yet reflects true humility on the part of its creator, as it recognizes that grappling with the cascades, ruptures, and fault lines of cultural geography are always a work in progress. The book . . . makes an excellent companion piece for undergraduate courses on imperialism, African and African American history, and visual culture. In its nuanced, sophisticated assessments of race, systemic violence, and frames of knowledge, the book is a perfect choice for instructors seeking to meaningfully engage with issues of diversity, equity, inclusion, and social justice, particularly when a transnational approach is desired or required."

-- Robert A. Saunders The AAG Review of Books

"The lyrical prose paired with intellectually rigorous theory make To Be Nsala’s Daughter a generative text for anyone working on postcolonial theory, decolonizing methodologies, or grappling with techniques for addressing archival silences and gaps."
-- Rachel Kabukala Theatre Journal
