Who Set You Flowin? by Farah Jasmine Griffin

Griffin identifies the Migration Narrative as a major genre in African-American cultural production, and argues that a dominant portrayal of migration is produced by its historical and political moment.
Farah Griffin is a new kind of intellectual of the younger generationShe goes beyond the fashionable mantra of Race, Gender, and Class by concretely situating black people constructing themselves as a heterogeneous community on the move geographically, culturally, politically, and existentially. * Cornel West, Harvard University *
