Book Overview

by Naima Yael Tokunow (Editor)

A visionary anthology that examines and reimagines the archive as a form of collective record-keeping, featuring work by Douglas Kearney, Brenda Shaughnessy, Mahogany L. Browne, and many new and emerging voices.

Inspired by Naima Yael Tokunow's research into the Black American record (and its purposeful scarceness), Permanent Record asks, what do we gain when we engage with our flawed cultural systems of remembrance? How does questioning and creating a deep relationship to the archive, and in some cases, spinning thread from air where there is none, allow us to prefigure the world that we want? Including reflections on identity and language, diasporic and first generation lived experiences, and responses to the ways the record upholds harm and provides incomplete understandings, Permanent Record hopes to reframe what gets to be a part of collective remembrance, exploring "possibilities for speculating beyond recorded multiplicity."
