Lose Your Mother
A Journey Along the Atlantic Slave Route
Saidiya Hartman
Travel along the slave route in Ghana and learn about the history of the Atlantic slave trade with Saidiya Hartman's Lose Your Mother. Hartman reflects on the effects of slavery on African and African American history, and explores the idea that to lose your mother is to be severed from kin and forgotten history. With no known surviving relatives in Ghana, Hartman becomes an outsider searching for strangers and engaging with people along the way. Lose Your Mother is a powerful and deeply affecting exploration of the past.

I generally recommend these books as a theoretical and historical background on distinctions between "B" beauty versus "beauty" in reproducing white western philosophies of personhood. (I'm especially keen on Painter's ch. 3-5 on this topic of analytical philosophy and beauty.) – fuente
