Here in a single volume is Kamau Brathwaite's long unavailable, landmark trilogy--\u003cem\u003eMother Poem\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eSun Poem\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eX\/Self\u003c\/em\u003e (1977, 1982, and 1987)--now completely revised and expanded by the author. With its \"Video Sycorax\" typographic inventions and linguistic play, Ancestors liberates both the language and the new-Caliban vision of the poet. In its fresh and more experimental form the trilogy embodies the recapture (what the poet has called the \"intercovery\") of Brathwaite's African\/Caribbean ancestry as a possession of power and renewal, even as it plumbs the deep tonalities of enslavement, oppression, and colonial dispossession.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 473\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.89 x 8.96 x 6.04 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 17, 2001\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42696963129407,"sku":"9780811214483","price":27.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/6f6a4d15404ffb6355e4d88cce12478c.webp?v=1765007957","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/ancestors-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
