Saidiya Hartman — Lose Your Mother: A Journey Along the Atlantic Slave Route (2007) Saidiya Hartman, Lose Your Mother: A Journey Along the Atlantic Slave Route (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2007). Lose Your Mother is part memoir, part history, part theory — a sustained meditation on the afterlives of slavery organized around Hartman's year-long journey through Ghana, tracing the Atlantic slave trade's routes from the interior to the coast. It is companion and sequel to hartman scenes of subjection (1997), applying and extending that book's methodological arguments into a different archive and a different form.
