This intimate connection is set against the background of persistent health inequities and inhumane official immigration policy within the state of Mississippi today. Viewing the Yazoo-Mississippi Delta region as a microcosm, the author examines the region's history of cultural confluence to highlight both the possibility and the collapse of what the writer Toni Morrison described in her essay "Home" as a "sharable world." Following a phrase from Édouard Glissant in Faulkner, Mississippi , the essay asks readers to consider what kind of "world-thought" emerges from our "commonplaces." Ultimately, however, the essay is a tribute to the titular man, Miguel Angel Vasquez, who passed away in 2014. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Southern Cultures is the property of University of North Carolina Press and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
