The Nation On No Map uses Black anarchism as a tool of survival in an age of crisis. Picking up where his co-authored debut As Black As Resistance left off, Anderson rejects nationalism, the State, and citizenship as avenues to achieve liberation. He issues a bold case for prioritizing basic survival as social and environmental conditions grow worse and global disasters abound. In order to overcome oppression, he says, people will have to first overcome certain barriers to and ways of thinking about liberation that go beyond mere critique of the U.S. By broadening our understanding of what stands in our way to include things like celebrity, dogma, and the idea of nationhood itself (Black or otherwise), The Nation On No Map encourages readers to utilize, and then exceed, the ideals and strategies of Black anarchism, regardless of what term they use to describe the struggle for liberation.

A Map to the Door of No Return is a timely book that explores the relevance and nature of identity and belonging in a culturally diverse and rapidly changing world. It is an insightful, sensitive and poetic book of discovery. Drawing on cartography, travels, narratives of childhood in the Caribbean, journeys across the Canadian landscape, African ancestry, histories, politics, philosophies and literature, Dionne Brand sketches the shifting borders of home and nation, the connection to place in Canada and the world beyond. The title, A Map to the Door of No Return, refers to both a place in imagination and a point in history—the Middle Passage. The quest for identity and place has profound meaning and resonance in an age of heterogenous identities. In this exquisitely written and thought-provoking new work, Dionne Brand creates a map of her own art.
