Requests:  0 Summary:  "Poet and musician Melania Luisa Marte opens Plantains and our Becoming by pointing out that Afro-Latina is not a word recognized by the dictionary. But the dictionary is far from a record of the truth. What does it mean, then, to tend to your own words and your own record--to build upon the legacies of your ancestors? In this imaginative, blistering poetry collection, Marte looks at the identities and histories of the Dominican Republic and Haiti to celebrate and center the Black diasporic experience. Through the exploration of themes like self-love, nationalism, displacement, generational trauma, and ancestral knowledge, this collection uproots stereotypes while creating a new joyous vision for Black identity and personhood"--Provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Adult New Books 811.6 Ma Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 811.6 Marte Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 811.6 Ma Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waikiki-Kapahulu Public Library Adult Nonfiction 811.6 Ma Checked In Add Copy to MyList
