Description

A Map to the Door of No Return is a timely book that explores the relevance and nature of identity and belonging in a culturally diverse and hastily changing world. It’s an insightful, sensitive and poetic book of discovery.

Drawing on cartography, travels, narratives of childhood within the Caribbean, journeys around the Canadian landscape, African ancestry, histories, politics, philosophies and literature, Dionne Brand sketches the shifting borders of home and nation, the relationship to position in Canada and the arena beyond.

The title, A Map to the Door of No Return, refers to both a spot in imagination and a point in history — the Middle Passage. The search for identity and place has profound which means and resonance in an age of heterogenous identities.

In this exquisitely written and thought-provoking new work, Dionne Brand creates a map of her own art.
