In this text, I examine the relationship of three concepts: healing, lived writing process, and the making of knowledge. This inquiry blends theory and practice, and it is situated within Black life writing. I situate my inquiry accordingly not to produce a collapsed framework of “racial healing,” but to show how Black life writing, while marginalized, is yet central. Though other scholarly work on healing and the writing process exists, I argue for a greater recognition of what I call "the lived writing process." I also argue that the lived writing process—as demonstrated by Black composition scholars—embodies healing and transformative knowledge-making, particularly within ethnography. Within the depth of this tradition, we may observe, grapple with, and universally consider what it means to heal. |
