Hello all, hoping you might be able to help with a query. I have a student interested in Afro-pessimist theories looking to do some comparative work on the Atlantic and East African slave routes. She is looking to use Saidiya Hartman's Lose Your Mother for the Atlantic context and is looking for an equivalent for the East African route. (This can be broadly defined, though for an example, she has been trying to look at Mustafa Olpak's work in Turkey. As far as I'm aware though it has been translated into French, not English.) Specifically, this should be a kind of modern piece of reflection, meditation and excavation along the lines of Hartman's Atlantic memory work. Alternatively she may need to change to look at contemporary first hand sources for which we have Eve Troutt Powell's Tell This in my Memory. Any suggestions at all gratefully received. If you prefer to contact me privately, it's [log in to unmask] Thankyou kindly, Michael Morris
