Jide Salawu shines in this personal record of migratory travails and a country lost to precarious politics. A conscious elegy of displacement and home regained through the tribute of roads, evoking diasporic conditions by highlighting syncopated language through pixelated imagery and lapidary details the diverse circumstances of being a Black migrant in Africa, Europe, and America. \u003ci\u003eContraband Bodies\u003c\/i\u003e is a cogitation on the agony of Atlantic memories and dispersal. It confronts new forms of digital kinship activated through social waves across diasporic landscape. In \u003ci\u003eContraband Bodies\u003c\/i\u003e, Salawu performs a poetic remittance on current exodus within Africa and outside of it as a form of resistance against all forms of oppression against Black migrant subjects in the world today.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46318195605655,"sku":"9781774391266","price":1152.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781774391266.webp?v=1767712254","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/contraband-bodies-9781774391266","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
