Calhoun offers a new way of writing about suicide, slavery, and coloniality in relation to literary history. Drawing on scientific texts, police files, and legal proceedings alongside contemporary African and Afro-Caribbean novels, film, and Senegalese oral history, Calhoun outlines how such aesthetic works rewrite histories of resistance and loss.
