Produktbeschreibung
Set within the context of Caribbean literature, this book deploys Postcolonial discourse and New Historicism as frameworks of analysis to posit in its argument that history as used in Julia Alvarez's 'In the Times of Butterflies', Edwidge Danticat's 'The Farming of Bones' and Grace Nichols' 'Whole of a Morning Sky' exposes the socio-political dilemma hindering the Caribbean people from realising a seamless sense of Caribbean-ness. To this end, the book unravels the various layers of Caribbean history as projected by these female writers to challenge forces that have made the Caribbean people to suffer setbacks, first, in the ways their leaders not only hijack their nations in terms of bad leadership but because by doing so, they have set precedence that have continued to hinder the Caribbean people from realising the essence of nationhood. Second, the book exposes the relational tensions that have created divisions among the Caribbean people and thirdly, it focuses on certain historical records that have been designed to gag the role some Caribbean women played in the realisation of statehood in the Caribbean.
