Book Synopsis Nathaniel Mackey, Destination Out by : Jeanne Heuving
Book excerpt: In this first book of essays devoted entirely to Nathaniel Mackey's work, prominent critics respond to a major oeuvre that is at once affirmative and utopic, negational and dystopic. Drawing on multiple genealogies and traditions, primarily from African and African diaspora histories and cultures, Mackey's work envisions cultural creation as cross-cultural, based in the damaging relationships of Africans brought against their will to the Americas and the resulting innovations of New World African literatures and music.
