PART 2:

Contextualizing the act of reading, referencing, citing (in the English Language) and Contextualizing the sourcesThis part will probably be a written explanation that defines “reading” and works out why I am grouping these sources together (they are not all explicitly about reading, referencing, or citing, they also do not all have the same methodologies). Main point is that reading is a laborious act (McKittrick writes about the “reading-work” required by Dionne Brands Inventory in Plantation Futures), citations and references spell out a narrative (chains of relation), and the English language is what Morrison calls “a language that can powerfully evoke and enforce hidden signs of racial superiority, cultural hegemony, and dismissive ‘othering’ of people and language.”
