Black Passport

In Black Passport, Paul Akpomuje takes us through a journey of black African migration in Canada, tracing the complexities of identity, the possibilities of fugitivity, the weight of home, and the ways borders, paperwork, and diasporic placemaking shape and are shaped by belonging.This collection is an archive of radical remembering, bringing into view the everyday textures of space, movement, and memory as experienced by black African migrants navigating immigration offices, airports, cities, and classrooms. In this debut collection, Akpomuje stands out in his portrayal of hope, dreams, resilience, and the enduring possibility of survival.
