The promised "bonus blog question" despite our not having had class on Monday this week!
The novel The Truth About Awiti seems to suggest that Awiti -- who might represent the African diaspora community in general, or the descendants of U.S. slaves in particular, or perhaps something else -- will never find peace by pursuing her campaign of vengeance. But is peace the goal she ought to be pursuing, or is her campaign serving another purpose? How should Awiti be handling her pain, and does that have implications for how we might or should act in a world structured by the experiences and transnational arrangements that provoke her wrath?
