Truce Country describes the uneasy states of uncertainty. The speaker exists in displacement, such as the speaker’s ambivalent relationship to America, love of its ideals and individuals as well as constant self-awareness of race, and the role of English as both a first and second language.

Through autobiography and persona, they question the validity of memories, and the study of perfection casts utopia as dystopia.
