Good to have had the opportunity at the LRB Bookshop to discuss Aimé Césaire’s RETURN TO MY NATIVE LAND, which I edited and introduced in the Penguin Modern Classics series. I was in conversation with Colin Grant.

Greetings!
I’m Jason Allen-Paisant. My writing explores the intersections of history, heritage, & aesthetics in the African diaspora, & how our bodies, memories, and environments interweave to form pathways for liberation, escape, & renewal.
Out in March—my new book THE POSSIBILITY OF TENDERNESS.
