Everything you need to understand or teach Constructing a Nervous System by Margo Jefferson.
Margo Jefferson's Constructing a Nervous System is part memoir and part cultural and literary criticism. Having worked in both genres for many years, Jefferson is eager to marry the two disparate forms in order to better understand her life and experience. Written in a patchwork of fragments and fractures, the text explores themes including identity and the self, racism and marginalization, and memory and the past.
