Description

Cane, Corn & Gully is a powerful genealogical and autobiographical collection that weaves together dance and poetry to explore the complexities of black West Indian femininity. By using labanotation and rhythm to analyse movement from Caribbean dances to everyday rituals, Safiya Kamaria Kinshasa creates a unique cartography for her poems.

This book interrogates key themes such as survival, sexual exploitation, race, gender, and class, while also shedding light on the violence inflicted on the black female body. Through its exploration of movement in oppressive ideological structures, Cane, Corn & Gully vindicates the rebellious acts of black women past, present, and yet to come.
