Modernism and the Middle Passage is a brilliant display of Laura Winkiel’s mastery of modernism and modernist studies. Using the lens of oceanic geographies and temporalities, and focusing on the archipelagos of the Atlantic world, she reroutes modernism from its familiar places and reconfigures its connection to different ways of being and becoming. The book expands the history and geography of modernism beyond its European borders and forcefully connects the modernist aesthetic to the violence of the Middle Passage. -- Simon Gikandi, Class of 1943 University Professor of English, Princeton University
