Under Safiya Sinclairs barndom blir hennes far som tillhör en strikt rastafarisekt orolig för att västerländsk kvinnlighet skulle göra Safiya och hennes systrar moraliskt svaga och orena. Han förbjuder smink, smycken, avvikande åsikter och vänner och tvingar dem att ha kläder som täcker armar, ben och hår. Genom mammans böcker och poesin håller sig Safiya vid liv och får ett verktyg som hjälper henne att hitta sin röst och säga ifrån. Uppvaknandet leder till sammandrabbningar med hennes far, vars ilska och paranoia exploderar i tilltagande våld. När Safiyas röst växer, lyriskt och poetiskt, är brytningen till slut oundviklig.
Det här är Babylon är berättelsen om en kvinna som bryter med sin fars patriarkala åsikter och repressiva kontroll och hittar sin röst som kvinna och poet.

Colliding with and confronting The Tempest and postcolonial identity, the poems in Safiya Sinclair’s Cannibal explore Jamaican childhood and history, race relations in America, womanhood, otherness, and exile. She evokes a home no longer accessible and a body at times uninhabitable, often mirrored by a hybrid Eve/Caliban figure. Blooming with intense lyricism and fertile imagery, these full-blooded poems are elegant, mythic, and intricately woven. Here the female body is a dark landscape; the female body is cannibal. Sinclair shocks and delights her readers with her willingness to disorient and provoke, creating a multitextured collage of beautiful and explosive poems.

National Book Critics Circle Award Winner A New York Times Notable Book Best Book of the Year for The Washington Post* The New Yorker * Time * The Atlantic * Los Angeles Times * NPR * Harper’s Bazaar * Vulture * Town & Country * San Francisco Chronicle * Christian Science Monitor * Mother Jones * Barack Obama A Read with Jenna Today Show Book Club Pick “Impossible to put down...Each lyrical line sings and soars, freeing the reader as it did the writer.” —People With echoes of Educated and The Glass Castle, How to Say Babylon is a “lushly observed and keenly reflective chronicle” (The Washington Post), brilliantly recounting the author’s struggle to break free of her rigid religious upbringing and navigate the world on her own terms. Throughout her childhood, Safiya Sinclair’s father, a volatile reggae musician and a militant adherent to a strict sect of Rastafari, was obsessed with the ever-present threat of the corrupting evils of the Western world outside their home, and worried that womanhood would make Safiya and her sisters morally weak and impure. For him, a woman’s highest virtue was her obedience. Safiya’s extraordinary mother, though loyal to her father, gave her the one gift she knew would take Safiya beyond the stretch of beach and mountains in Jamaica their family called home: a world of books, knowledge, and education she conjured almost out of thin air. When she introduced Safiya to poetry, Safiya’s voice awakened. As she watched her mother struggle voicelessly for years under relentless domesticity, Safiya’s rebellion against her father’s rules set her on an inevitable collision course with him. Her education became the sharp tool to hone her own poetic voice and carve her path to liberation. Rich in emotion and page-turning drama, How to Say Babylon is “a melodious wave of memories” of a woman finding her own power (NPR).
