Focusing primarily on the stories "Petit Marronage," "Dominoes at the Crossroads," and "We Free Kings," the article seeks to account for the temporality of the diaspora put forth by Kellough in the collection, experienced as a simultaneity of past, present, and future time. Characters are shown to be affected in various ways by the history of slavery and colonialism in their present-day lives and in the envisioning of a future world. The article draws on the foundational work of Stuart Hall, Paul Gilroy, and Édouard Glissant in its conceptualization of diaspora and the consciousness of diaspora, with added attention being given to how class and sexuality contribute to a differentiated experience of diaspora. pubtype: Review doctype: Short Story Review src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of University of Toronto Quarterly is the property of University of Toronto Press and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
