Abstract

A literary criticism of the book "A Map to the Door of No Return: Notes to Belonging" by Dionne Brand is presented. It outlines how Brand explores the complex geographies of empire, interweaving personal narratives with historical reflections to reveal the ongoing impact of colonialism on contemporary racial and environmental injustices. It highlights Brand's evocative descriptions of Elmina Castle, a site emblematic of the transatlantic slave trade.
