Grada Kilomba: Plantation Memories ***FÄLLT AUS***

Grada Kilomba’s book explores everyday racism as a psychological reality. The combination of these two words, ‘plantation’ and  ’memories’, describes how racism is experienced as a violent shock  that suddenly places the Black subject within a colonial scene where,  as in a plantation scenario, one is imprisoned as the subordinate and  exotic ‘Other’. The author will read from her best-selling book  ’Plantation Memories’ a compilation of episodes of everyday racism written in the form of short psychoanalytical stories, which was  recently re-printed.
