Migritude
by Shailja Patel
Praise for Migritude:
"[Patel] brings out what it means to be a woman in an empire..."
—San Francisco Chronicle
Description:
MIGRITUDE, the US debut of internationally acclaimed poet and performance artist Shailja Patel, dodges categories and confounds expectations. Part poetic memoir, part political history, part performance tour-de-force, MIGRITUDE weaves together family history, reportage, and monologues of violence, colonization, and love, to create an achingly beautiful portrait of women’s lives and migrant journeys undertaken under the boot print of Empire.
Patel, who was born in Kenya and educated in England and the US, honed her poetic skills in performances that have received standing ovations throughout Europe, Africa, and North America. She has been described by the Gulf Times as “the poetic equivalent of Arundhati Roy” and by CNN as “the face of globalization as a people-centered phenomenon of migration and exchange.”
The lavishly illustrated US publication of Migritude will include interviews with the author, as well as performance notes and essays.
