dc.description.abstract | This article engages in depth with the poetics of Jamaican Canadian dub poet, playwright and performer d’bi young anitafrika. Focusing primarily on anitafrika’s one-woman play blood.claat, it argues that her aesthetic is both powerfully unique and distinctively Canadian, negotiating her twin heritages as daughter of a celebrated Canadian dub poet and inheritor of a broader dub tradition through its meditations on black women’s bodies, motherhood, matrilineality, resistance and voice. | en_US |
