The slave, Saidiya Hartman observes, is a stranger torn from
family, home, and country. To lose your mother is to be severed
from your kin, to forget your past, and to inhabit the world as an
outsider. In Lose Your Mother, Hartman traces the history of the
Atlantic slave trade by recounting a journey she took along a slave
route in Ghana. There are no known survivors of Hartman's lineage,
no relatives to find. She is a stranger in search of strangers, and
this fact leads her into intimate engagements with the people she
encounters along the way, and with figures from the past, vividly
dramatising the effects of slavery on three centuries of African
and American history.
