Welcome!

The device of the station of birth plays a large part in all four of the works we read over the semester. In I, Tituba, the author grants Tituba renewed empowerment through her birth; in Black Shack Alley, Jose’s birth in the Alley forces him to leverage the racially unequal devices of the French regime to gain social advancement; Sophie’s trauma in Breath, Eyes, Memory is propagated by her violent conception—which results in her mother’s forced testing upon her; Joys of Motherhood’s Nnu Ego’s family is loving, yet with conservative values which forces a crippling sense of motherly duty that almost drove her to death. Birth, and challenging the station assigned at birth, is a fundamental value pervasive through the texts.

This game aims to explore some of the dynamics found in all four of the works, while exploring some aspects of Haitian, Martinican, or Nigerian culture.
