Über diesen Titel
Where do I belong in a country that has never loved me? What does it mean to be an American?
Lauded poet and essayist Chet’la Sebree interrogates these questions as she traverses an America that has always had a fraught relationship with its Black citizens. Her journey takes her from the shores of the Atlantic to the prairies of the Midwest, to the forests of the Pacific Northwest, abroad, and then back again. Through these shifting landscapes, Sebree seamlessly weaves memoir with history and cultural criticism in a collection of essays bound by themes of movement, home, inheritance, and belonging.
Growing up in a family that would pile into the car for lengthy excursions, Sebree has always loved to travel. Once she left her parents' home in Delaware, she rarely kept an address for more than two years and was more comfortable with a suitcase and an itinerary than the idea of a mortgage and stillness of settling down. Her life as a writer, scholar, poet, and professor fed her hunger for exploration domestically and internationally while staving off the pang that she never quite felt at home anywhere. That latter fact became increasingly unsettling as she desired to put down roots—both for herself, and for the child she began to consider bringing into the world as a single mother.
Building on the work of scholars like Saidiya Hartman and Imani Perry, Sebree navigates her relationship to a place that was not made for her to survive, let alone thrive, as she dreams of new futures. In exploring this fracture, Sebree carves out space of her own through clear-eyed observations and fearless revelations.
Kritikerstimmen
“In Sebree’s sensitive and tender hands, and with her probing intellect, this book’s quest (and question) of home is captivating and at turns searing and spiritually uplifting. An intimate rendering of the life of a Black woman artist, in these pages genealogy is a journey, the heart is a map, and family is essential even when uncertain. Insightful, vulnerable, layered, and full of love, I highly recommend Turn (W)here.”—Imani Perry, National Book Award Winner and author of Back in Blues
“Turn (W)here offers an expansive topography of home through history, cultural criticism, and lived experience. Chet’la Sebree’s innovative essay collection is a compass pointing toward the truest north there is: the self. Sebree writes beautifully about belonging and becoming, and how wanderlust is a crucial part of the equation.”—Michele Filgate, editor of What My Father and I Don’t Talk About
“In this expansive collection, Chet’la Sebree continues in the lineage of Dionne Brand, Katherine McKittrick, and Saidiya Hartman to trace and retrace home through language, and how it structures experience through form—travelogue, graph, testimony, autotheory. Turn (W)here charts new territory—an intimate geography that in the absence of a land, can form a sense and meaning of home.”—Vanessa Angélica Villarreal, author of Magical Realism
“With a poet’s precision and care, Chet’la Sebree has crafted an intricate map of one woman’s search for home, recording each site of self-creation, each path toward self-knowledge, each landmark of community and love and belonging. Turn (W)here is tender and playful, generous and fearless—a breathtaking essay collection that remains deeply rooted in history while forging ahead into the uncertain future.”—Lilly Dancyger, author of First Love
“Turn (W)here is an exquisitely observed and multifaceted collection of essays set off by Chet’la Sebree’s searching nature. With meditations on family, history, friendship, and home, this magnificent book takes readers on a journey of discovery into what matters in the human experience. This is the sort of book that invites the reader to share with loved ones, compare notes, and read again.”—Maurice Carlos Ruffin, author of The American Daughters
“Chet’la Sebree’s latest essay collection is a millennial meditation on desire—to belong, to know one's self and to bring life into this world. Sebree filets tender truths from the bones of a life lived wandering. This book is a hearty feast for those of us at midlife starved for direction.”—Minda Honey, author of The Heartbreak Years
