Notions of identity, diaspora, and gender in Caribbean women's writing[electronic resource]/Brinda Mehta. - 1st ed. - New York :Palgrave Macmillan,2009. - 232 p. ;22 cm.

Includes bibliographical references (p. [206]-216) and index.

Introduction: Diasporic Trajectories in Francophone Caribbean Women's Writing -- Diasporic Fractures in Colonial Saint Domingue: From Enslavement to Resistance in Evelyne Trouillot's Rosalie l'inâfme -- Dyasporic Trauma, Memory, and Migration in Edwidge Danticat's The Dew Breaker -- Culinary Diasporas: Identity and the Transnational Geography of Foodin Gièsele Pineau's Un papillon dans la ciét and L'Exil selon Julia --Diasporic Identity: Problematizing the Figure of the Dougla in Laure Moutoussamy's Passerelle de vie and Maryse Conéd's La migration des coeurs -- The Voice of Sycorax: Diasporic Maternal Thought.

Notions of Identity, Diaspora, and Gender in Caribbean Women's Writing uses a unique four-dimensional lens to frame questions of diaspora and gender in the writings of women from Martinique, Guadeloupe, and Haiti. These divergent and interconnected perspectives include violence, trauma, resistance, and expanded notions of Caribbean identity. In thesewritings, diaspora represents both a wound created by slavery and Indian indenture and the discursive praxis of defining new identities and cultural possibilities. These framings of identity provide inclusive andcomplex readings of transcultural Caribbean diasporas, especially in terms of gender and minority cultures.
