nNow in its first American edition, Dionne Brands groundbreaking A Map to the Door of No Return has emerged as a modern classic, a highly influential exploration of being in the Black diaspora. n nSince its first publication in 2001, in Canada, Dionne Brands groundbreaking exploration of being in the Black diaspora, A Map to the Door of No Return, has emerged as a modern classic. The door, in Brands iconic schema, represents the point of rupture where the ancestors of the Black diaspora departed one world for another: the place where all names were forgotten, and all beginnings recast. This door, writes Brand, is not mere physicality. It is a spiritual location . . . Since leaving was never voluntary, return was, and still may be, an intention, however deeply buried. There is as it says no way in; no return. n nThrough shards of history, memoir, lyrical investigation, and the unwritten experience of so many descendants of those who passed through the door, Brand constructs a map of this indelible region, culminating in an enduring expression, both definitive and seeking, of what it is to live, think, and create in the wake of colonization. n nWith a new preface by the author, and an afterword by Saidiya Hartman. n
