Palimpsest as Slave Narrative: A Reading of Dionne Brand's At the Full and Change of the Moon

Abstract: 

In order to speculate on the ways in which sight, sound, and story are carried and dispersed in slave narratives and how these dispersions create a diasporic narrative reliant on ghosts, (re)memory, and individualism as foot print, this paper will unpack the uses of Brand’s palimpsest in Moon.
