Writing a Life from the Margins

In Memoir: An Introduction, Thomas Couser observes that the recent memoir boom has also
given rise to the “some body” memoir, allowing marginalized voices to enter mainstream
discourse. These accounts, he notes, often possess a performative dimension, one that enacts
the clear message: “I’m here, and I can speak for myself.” As such, life narratives by women,
racial minorities, LGBTQ writers, and individuals living with disabilities or illness extend beyond
the detailing of events; they undertake the critical work of interrogating social and cultural
concerns.

Call for Book Chapters: “Japa-ing” to Freedom or/and Slavery
Back in 2001, Simon Gikandi in “Globalization and the Claims of Postcoloniality” discussed the unfortunate case of two dead Guinean boys whose bodies were found in the cargo hold of a plane, stowed away in the bowels of slave ships. The unnamed boys were desperate to go to Europe. The on-going mass exodus of young people from Nigeria (called “japa”) can be read as a contemporary re-enactment of the ideas that drove those Guinea boys to “choose” a deadly migration journey.
