Rezensionen

"In Volta, Michelle Reale uses autoethnographic and poetic strategies to look critically at her own upbringing and how racism extends through generations in a culture. Her vibrant narrative and poetic skills forge bonds between theory and an examined life. This unflinching inquiry provides a valuable model for anti-racist work." -Anne McCrary Sullivan, Author of Learning Calabar: Notes from a Poet's Year in Nigeria
