Island: Jamaica vs. Martha’s Vineyard a search for indigenous pathways and family history (2nd edition)

(2nd edition)

Island incorporates themes from The Black Woman Project while shifting the lens back to Smith’s own life, archivally re-examining the images of her history and the women within it. She traces this lineage to Martha’s Vineyard and Jamaica, two places with two Black cultures, albeit radically different. Island seeks to reconcile Smith’s alienation—both familial and diasporic—by building an exquisite corpse of memories out of her past and present.
