domina Un/blued

Poetry. African American Studies. DOMINA UN/BLUED dislocates the traditional slave narrative, placing the slave's utterance within the map and chronicle of conquest. Charting a diaspora of the human spirit as well as a diaspora of an individual body, Ruth Ellen Kocher's award-winning new book reaches beyond the story of historical involuntary servitude to explore enslavements of devotion and desire, which in extremity slide into addiction and carnal bondage.
