I also think Elizabeth is speaking about the coming and going, the circulation, of Blackness, within a family or families, and how traditions are exchanged and developed within and across boundaries. I especially love the refrain, "Goodbye, Mamma, goodbye," which is a direct address but also an appeal to the Motherland, a profoundly Diasporic invocation.John Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08073378940347627766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11122973.post-1151374547438742162006-06-26T19:15:00.000-07:002006-06-26T19:15:00.000-07:00I've loved this poem because of the way it tries t...I've loved this poem because of the way it tries to get at what it is to be an African American with an African family in the US.
