Édouard Glissant famously described this wake as consisting of three abysses that Africans faced as they entered the hull of the slave ship: the abyss of the belly of the boat itself, the abyss of the seas where many were cast overboard, and the abyss of memory as their traditions receded under the viciousness of removal.
