'Plantation Memories' is a compilation of episodes of everyday racism written in the form of short psychoanalytical stories. From the question 'Where do you come from?' to Hair Politics to the N-Word, the book is a strong, eloquent, and elaborate piece, which deconstructs the normality of everyday racism and exposes the violence of being placed as the Other. Released at the Berlin International Literature Festival (2008), soon the book became internationally acclaimed and part of numerous academic curricula. Known for her subversive practice of giving body, voice and image to her own texts, Kilomba adapted her book into a staged reading (2012) and video installation (2018).

In ihrem literarischen Werk verbindet sie lyrische Prosa mit dem wissenschaftlichen Diskurs und geht damit Erinnerungsspuren an Sklaverei und Kolonialismus sowie dem alltäglichen Rassismus nach. Sie ist auch Mitherausgeberin der Bücher 'Gemachte Differenz' und 'Mythen, Masken und Subjekte', beide erschienen im Unrast Verlag.
