About the book
[edit]Migritude focuses on how black African women and diasporic groups are positioned and repositioned in the language of global concern. By examining the subaltern discourse, this piece rethinks what is deemed "home" in the queer imaginary. To represent the subaltern, whose concerns are exemplified by the perpetuation of institutional violence upon their bodies, this paper critiques heteronormativity.[4][5][6]
