>Plantation Memories< is a compilation of episodes of everyday racism written in the form of short psychoanalytical stories. From the question >Where do you come from?< to Hair Politics to the N-Word, the book is a strong, eloquent, and elaborate piece, which deconstructs the normality of everyday racism and exposes the violence of being placed as the Other. Released at the Berlin International Literature Festival (2008), soon >Plantation Memories< became internationally acclaimed and part of numerous academic curricula. Known for her subversive practice of giving body, voice and image to her own texts, Kilomba adapted her book into a staged reading (2012) and video installation (2018).
