Michelle Cliff's Abeng (1986) and Danzy Senna's Caucasia
(1998) typify a recent literary uptrend: a dramatic increase in biracial
fiction, memoir, and theory, in biracial discourses of passing,
invisibility, and identity.
--Cervantes
I wish we were all a tribe
and that when the news came
the tribe could gather,
painted in earth colors,
with the dust of grief in our hair,
to dance for a day and a night
in a stupor of rhythm and movement,
shuffle and footfall,
breathing as one for you;
the remorseless drums
a heartbeat for you;
horns of tusk and seashell,
shofar and abeng,
with unearthly cry
calling to you from this earth. The
homophobic Jamaican community in Michelle Cliff's Abeng that
"murders" its gay members with gossip and sneers is another. |
