Reclaiming African lifeways and remembering what was forcibly forgotten must also be by an embodied re-knowing rooted in kinship, care, and liberation. Author, organizer, and designer Aida Mariam Davis excavates the historical and ongoing impacts of settler colonialism, making explicit the ways in which extraction, oppression, and enslavement serve the goals of empire—not least by severing ancestral connections and disrupting profound and ancient relationships to self, nature, and community.
