Novel Perspectives on African and Black Diasporic Literature
Through multiple points of resistance, The Repressed Expressed underscores
how hard it is to build a community in any nation with no beneficial
qualities of hope and transparency. This informative collection of
essays highlights that wherever stability and order are lacking, the
universal appeal is to express that which is suppressed. Also, like a
map or guidebook, The Repressed Expressed indicates how people
in such geographical prisons strive to transform their agitation into
spiritual and political pathways, free of pain and hurt from, and anger
towards a dirty and corrupted world. It thus, underpins discord and
brings to the fore the authority’s penchant for heaping abuse upon those
caused to live in fear. In short, The Repressed Expressed is
an impressive compilation of literary evidence informing scholarship on
opinions and beliefs relating to repression, its expression, and the
immeasurable associated cost.
