Abstract

Beyond the Canebrakes: Caribbean Women Writers in Canada is a text of fifteen essays and two interviews that examine the work of West Indian women writers living in Canada. The essays examine the work of literary artists—Claire Harris, Olive Senior, Lillian Allen, Afua Cooper, Dionne Brand, M. Nourbese Philip, Nalo Hopkinson, Pamela Mordecai, and Makeda Silvera— as an integral not marginal element of the Canadian and world literature canons. The authors of these essays and interviews dissect issues of history, gender, power, identity, and levels of discourse in moving scholars, researchers, and students into arenas of more vigorous study and critique of the West Indian woman writer in Canada. These essays further examine how these women writers’ literary works reflect their foundations as Caribbean-born while illustrating their movement “beyond the canebrakes”—Caribbean homeland— in a reflection and synthesis of their birth-home/heritage with diasporic-home.

Abstract

In the first published book-length study of Indian fiction in South Africa, Pallavi Rastogi demonstrates that Indians desire South African citizenship in the fullest sense of the word, a longing for inclusion that is asserted through an “Afrindian” identity. Afrindian Fictions: Diaspora, Race, and National Desire in South Africa examines Afrindian identity and blurs the racial binary of black and white interaction in South African studies as well as unsettles the East-West paradigm of migration dominant in South Asian diaspora studies. While offering incisive analyses of the work of the most important South African Indian writers today—Ahmed Essop, Farida Karodia, Achmat Dangor, Imraan Coovadia, and Praba Moodley among others—the author also places South African Indian fiction within broader literary traditions. Rastogi’s project of recovery shines a light on the rich but neglected literature by South African Indians. The book closes with interviews conducted with six key South African Indian writers. Here the authors not only reflect on their own writing but also comment on many of the issues raised in the book itself, particularly the role of Indians in South Africa today, and the status of South African Indian writing. Afrindian Fictions is a valuable introduction to South African Indian literature as well as a major interrogation of some of the foundational notions of post-colonial literary studies.

Abstract

Cette étude porte sur les troubles psychiques, dus à la colonisation et à ses avatars, que les romanciers anglophones africains prêtent à certains de leurs héros. Ces protagonistes ont subi la pression coloniale qui les a assignés à un statut d'infériorité. L'auteur examine la façon dont les personnages formulent une rhétorique identitaire et reproduisent les discriminations qu'ils ont éprouvées.

Abstract

"'Letras Pátrias', les lettres de la patrie. C'est ainsi que les écrivains brésiliens qualifient une littérature dont la mission première est de fonder l’identité nationale, dans les décennies qui suivent l’indépendance, proclamée en 1822. Au croisement d’une histoire sociale du "petit monde" des hommes et femmes de lettres du Brésil à l’époque impériale (1822-1889) et d’une histoire intellectuelle d’une littérature nationale en gestation, cet ouvrage dresse le portrait collectif des premières générations d’écrivains, dont les œuvres littéraires composent ce "grand monument national" qu’exalte déjà le romancier José de Alencar en 1875. Ce faisant, Sébastien Rozeaux répond aussi dans ce livre à la question essentielle formulée par Ernest Renan en 1882, "Qu’est-ce qu’une nation ?", dans la mesure où les "Letras Pátrias" offrent au lecteur un miroir déformant de la réalité socio-ethnique du Brésil, pays esclavagiste jusqu’en 1888."
