*Lit Review UNLOCKED* Joy in Storytelling


Listen Later

On this *UNLOCKED LIT REVIEW*, I interview Alex Miller-- a fellow Stanford Law grad, immigration attorney, and Tucsonan. We discuss Barracoon by Zora Neale Hurston. In Barracoon, Zora Neale Hurston tells the story of Cudjo Lewis who, when she interviewed him, was the last living survivor of the Clotilde-- the last documented slave ship that made the trans-atlantic trip from Africa to the US fifty years after slavery was supposedly outlawed in the United States. Alex and I discuss how valuable this recorded history of life in Nigeria prior to enslavement, the universal nature of greed, and the messiness of white benefactors funding radical and important work such as this.
