Cultural Memory and Mythology: Africana Agency in the Face of Exile
Africana Cultural Memory Studies is one of the most recent intellectual developments in the discipline of Africana Studies, yet its priorities are familiar. In conversation with diasporic experiences of exile, both cultural memory as recollection and cultural mythology as sacred storytelling of this recollection are catalysts for exploring new ways to itemize survival and inheritance throughout the African Diaspora.
