Abstract:
This brief essay follows up on responses by Leslie Dorrough Smith and Matt K. Sheedy to Changing the Subject: Writing Women across the African Diaspora. In it, I revisit the issue of authorship and some of the processes of disclosure that lie therein, a question approached in various ways by Sheedy (more directly) and Dorrough Smith (more broadly/thematically).
