Ruminating on the significance of physical and mental roaming in relation to black freedom, Sarah Jane Cervenak emphasizes the power of wandering and daydreaming for those whose mobility is severely constrained. From Sojourner Truth's spiritual and physical journeys to the rambling protagonist of Gayl Jones's novel Mosquito, Cervenak highlights modes of wandering that subvert Enlightenment-based protocols of rationality, composure, and upstanding comportment.
