In Afrodiasporic Forms: Slavery in Literature and Culture of the African Diaspora, Raquel Kennon offers a careful and compelling analysis of what she calls a “poetic monde noir” (3). In close readings of a diverse range of texts (poetry, novels, theater, visual art, and music) from well-established and lesser-known writers and artists, Kennon revisits the memory of chattel slavery as experienced and lodged in three locations in the Americas— Brazil, Cuba and the US. The book’s impressive trajectory covers three centuries, engaging texts as varied as Juan Francisco Manzano’s Autobiografía de un esclavo (1839) written in Cuba (the only known slave narrative from a Spanish American colony), and Kara Walker’s massive 2014 project, A Subtlety, or the Marvelous Sugar Baby, installed in the old Domino Sugar Refinery in Brooklyn, New York. Kennon’s beautifully written and comprehensive examination of a Black diasporic imagination enables her to methodically unearth and reconnect the arch of transatlantic slavery, linking the historical memories of Africa, Europe and the Americas. In the process, she produces a world of Black ideas and creation across Portuguese, Spanish, British, and British American manifestations of enslavement’s ongoing legacies. Defying a neat chronological or geographical structure (moving from Brazil to the US and then back to Brazil and finally Cuba), Kennon’s study interweaves comparative analysis of Black people’s experiences in diaspora with meditations on art and art making, moving across spatial and temporal boundaries to narrate an errant Black world poetics.
拉奎尔·凯农在《非洲散居者的形式:文学和文化中的奴隶制》一书中对她所说的“黑色诗意世界”进行了仔细而令人信服的分析(3)。Kennon仔细阅读了知名作家和艺术家的各种文本(诗歌、小说、戏剧、视觉艺术和音乐),重温了在美洲三个地方——巴西、古巴和美国——经历和停留的动产奴隶制的记忆。这本书令人印象深刻的轨迹涵盖了三个世纪,胡安·弗朗西斯科·曼扎诺(Juan Francisco Manzano)在古巴创作的《自传》(Autobiografía de un esclavo,1839年)(这是唯一一部已知的西班牙裔美国殖民地的奴隶叙事),以及卡拉·沃克(Kara Walker)2014年在纽约布鲁克林旧多米诺糖厂(Domino Sugar Refinery)安装的大型项目《微妙》(a Subtlety)或《神奇的糖宝贝》(the Marvelous Sugar Baby)等引人入胜的文本。凯农对黑人散居者的想象进行了优美而全面的研究,使她能够有条不紊地挖掘并重新连接跨大西洋奴隶制的拱门,将非洲、欧洲和美洲的历史记忆联系起来。在这个过程中,她创造了一个黑人思想和创造的世界,涵盖了葡萄牙、西班牙、英国和英美奴隶制的持续遗产。肯农的研究打破了整洁的时间或地理结构(从巴西到美国,再回到巴西,最后是古巴),将对黑人散居国外经历的比较分析与对艺术和艺术创作的思考交织在一起,跨越时空界限,讲述了一个误入歧途的黑人世界诗学。
