Overview

This analysis uncovers narratives of racial capitalism in Lalami's work, suggesting insights into knowledge production and whiteness.

Key Points

  • Key findings reveal how stories can serve as practices of listening and resistance against oppression in different contexts.
  • This article employs Critical Ocean Geographies to explore counter-narratives in Laila Lalami's Hope and Other Dangerous Pursuits.
  • Engaging with sea narratives can foster alternative knowledge production and reimagine relations with maritime spaces.
