Join us on December 7 for a book talk on Camara Lundestad Joof "I Talk about It All the Time," out now from University of Wisconsin Press! Translator Olivia Noble Gunn (Assistant Professor and Sverre Arestad Chair in Norwegian Studies, UW Seattle) and moderator Monica L. Miller (Professor of Africana Studies and Chair of the Africana Studies Department at Barnard College) will be present in-person for a virtual talk with Joof, to discuss the Norwegian performance artist and playwright’s biting, lyrical memoir about her experiences as a queer Black Norwegian woman. What does it mean to be Norwegian? Born in Bodø to Norwegian and Gambian parents, Joof’s daily encounters belie the myth of a colorblind contemporary Scandinavia. She wrestles with the fickle palimpsest of memory, demanding communion with her readers even as she recognizes her own exhaustion in the face of constantly being asked to educate others.
