Black Girl, Call Home is a rich collection of poetry from Jasmine Mans about being a Black girl, a Black queer girl, a Black woman, a Black woman in Newark, New Jersey.

She writes about the intergenerational traumas that have haunted the Black community—the sterilized women, the Black women who were experimented on, the fate of Black boys, the fear of Black mothers. Her poems touch on her family and the legacies they passed down, dig into the injustices that the people of her many communities face every day, from rape culture to racist violence and so much more. "South 14th Street: The Attic Window" and "Invite Me" were gorgeous, sleepy love poems that grow from quiet rushes of love on faith.

In "Fire," Mans writes, "my tears know patterns on my face / they are not, yet, ready to unlearn." This book holds stories, both hers and of others, of trauma and love, of survival and pressing through injustices that haunt us, follow us, track us. It's a very readable collection with a lot of gems.

Content warnings for violence, racism, rape mention, homophobia, transphobia, medical horror.

Black Girl, Call Home ~ Jasmine Mans

Rating: 4/5 Black Girl, Call Home is a short and densely packed exploration of black womanhood written in the cadence of spoken word poetry. I listened to this on audio, and Mans’ reading of this is powerful and conveys the importance of what she’s saying with a rhythm that’s hard to resist. At times her reading lulled me to zone out, but then brought me back again with the intensity of the…

got reminded of the "saying Arabs conquered and colonized North Africa is Zionist because obviously no one saying that coulx possibly draw a distinction between North African Arabs and Palestinian Arabs, and even drawing a distinction between Arabs and Imazighen is colonizer shit" school of thought

#cipher talk #I have seem Zionists co-opt the language of MENA Indigenous groups but MF that doesn't mean we're WRONG #It means they're stealing our talking points to appeal to more left leaning people #How is it you can recognize that they've co-opted the language of social justice and that that doesn't mean social justice is bad #Until the people YOU dispossess are mentioned and suddenly you're doing step 8 of the 8 steps of white settler colonial denial #Just like the Israelis do!#And yeah like. Some people don't draw the distinction. That's a product of intergenerational trauma and how our communities #Get manipulated by the US and shit. I've also met Arabs not from North Africa that refuse to draw a distinction #And see a discussion of how Arabs have hurt Indigenous Africans as an attack on them when it doesn't make sense to do so #I've also met a lot of people who DO clearly draw a distinction because the material conditions of Palestinians are that of Indigenity #Are your material conditions as a postcolonial North African with an Arab name and a mosque and skin that isn't black that of Indigenity?#Do you not have people with your face in the government (regardless of how shifty it is)? Did someone take your land or your churches land?#Do you struggle with employment? Is your tongue not the most common one? Are your cultural clothes looked at with distaste?#Are your girls targeted for kidnapping and rape to force them to not be of your culture? Are your women called whores who WANT rape?#Are you harassed by cops? Does the government try to take your kids because they have bullshit adoption laws?#Do your kids get arrested at 12 or 13 and almost sent a thousand miles away from home before pressure stays the order?#Is your language called feudal? Do people tell you they hope it dies soon? Is your name a barrier in your life?#Did they drown your fucking village?#Because all of these are things Copts and Nubians can say yes to #Before I even start on the shit done in the Maghreb or the fuckery about how Egypt defines 'Amazigh territory' (which is very complicated)

I want Julie x Wally to be canon because then that would mean Julie is a genderfluid person who's black,autistic and a pastel ray of sunshine who's got a thing for an edgy pretty boy villain and that's exactly the kind of rep i need in my life
