The testimony you will find in the pages ahead spans the cultures and regions of Japan, the United States, England, Canada, Cape Verde, Cuba, Brazil, Haiti, Benin, Nigeria, and Louisianian Creole country. The voices you will hear are thus unique and diverse from points of origin and destination, yet each chapter tells a story of homecoming in motion. This kind of spiritual solace in the poetics of errantry is identified by Édouard Glissant as “the postulation of an unyielding and unfading sacred.”2 Glissant’s articulation of “errant thinking” marks the global legacies of African slavery and the subsequent creation of Caribbean plantation systems onto world literatures, politics, cultures, and philosophies. The assemblages he suggests force us to rethink how we understand “the search for a freedom withinx moves with such errantry, its authors irreverent in their search for spiritual freedoms in particular places and spaces that defy stereotypes of roots, routes, and traditionality. The sacred nature of the authors’ journeys defies easy categorizations and reorients the textures of interiority and exteriority of travel as one of relation—with spirits, deities, and places.
