Titled after douard Glissant's (1928–2011) anthology, La Terre, le feu, l'eau et les vents (2010), this publication offers a polyphonic extension of the writer's foundational thinking on art to museology, philosophy and poetry. The Museum of Errantry reflects Glissant's conception of the museum itself as an archipelago—a space open to ruptures, disappearances, and reinventions without forced synthesis. The Earth, the Fire, the Water, and the Winds features detailed artist entries, archival fragments and visual documents to illuminate the many relational, diasporic, migratory trajectories that inform Glissant's personal art collection and meditations. The volume also features . . . .go to book page >>

This is an experimental illustrated reader exploring the work and legacy of American architect, educator and artist Amaza Lee Meredith (1895–1984), a trailblazer who was the first known Black queer woman to practice as an architect in the United States.
This book takes Meredith's expansive letter-writing practice as a conceptual framework for epistolary responses in the present, plotting Meredith's life and work within themes of placemaking, gender, sexuality and Black love, with a focus on how she built sanctuaries (homes, institutions and communities) for herself and other people of color to foster . . . .go to book page >>

In discussions over repatriation and restitution of cultural objects, artistic practices often clash with the legal and political frameworks of sovereignty. To untangle these theoretical issues, Max Jorge Hinderer Cruz draws on examples from Latin American and Caribbean history dating back to the 16th century, grounding these reflections in anticolonial struggles and claims for justice. In revisiting such case studies as the so-called Aztec Feather Headdress of Moctezuma and the international dispute over the Spanish galleon San José shipwrecked off the coast of Colombia; or Indigenous political leader and philosopher Ailton Krenak’s intervention at the 1987 Brazilian Constitutional Assembly, Cruz . . . .go to book page >>

Serubiri Moses’ Judith Namala: A Novella, the author’s fiction debut, is an experiment in adaptation, translation and genre. Set in Uganda between the late 1970s and early 2000s, the book stages the domestic dramas of Judith Namala, a Black maid, and Esther Nambi, her Black madam. Unfolding across short vignettes of fiction, poetry, Ugandan history, art criticism and journalistic reportage, Moses’ narrative is also an exercise in translation as fictocriticism: unraveling the lyrics to a popular Ugandan song into an expansive new approach to storytelling.

What if the book was a technology invented at sea? How would its language reflect the intonations of the sea? And how might we think of a Brown Atlantis at the bottom of the Indian Ocean without the blinkers of human navigation or instruments of measurement? Radio Brown Atlantis explores the entanglements between brown and Black people from the African diaspora and South Asia, displaced through enslavement and indenture, and connected through experiences of oceanic colonial routes. Using storytelling, music and poetry, this new anthology reimagines their stories and histories underwater, in an Atlantis at the bottom of the Indian . . . .go to book page >>

The first publication dedicated to the work of Martinican journalist and filmmaker Arlette Pacquit, Andidan takes the form of a continuous dialogue spanning from 2020 to 2023, between the artist and the poet and translator Nathanaël. Through her documentary-style films, Pacquit has given voice to Martinican history in the wake of French colonialism and to the Afro-Caribbean experience at large. Edited to mimic a film, the book is composed of five recorded interviews (transcribed), two written interviews, several texts by Pacquit and an essay by Nathanaël, amplified by a filmography, film stills and production shots, many previously unseen.
