“We sing a song, in the black church tradition that says, 'I'm going up the rough side of the mountain on my way home.' ...At times, home is nowhere. At times, one knows only extreme estrangement and alienation. Then home is no longer just one place. It is locations...Our struggle is also a struggle of memory against forgetting.'
- Bell hooks, Choosing the Margin as Space of Radical Openness
