Summary: Using a unique four-dimensional lens to frame questions of diaspora in the writings of women from Haiti, Martinique, and Guadeloupe, Mehta expands notions of Caribbean identity.
"Mehta provides an exciting new framework ...her brilliant, richly textured analysis of texts by Maryse Conde, Edwidge Danticat, Laure Moutoussamy, Gisele Pineau, and Evelyne Trouillot reveals a dialogue across generations and locations that is informed by memories of slavery and indenture. Unique, timely, and compelling - an indispensable addition to literary scholarship." - Renee Larrier, author of Autofiction and Advocacy in the Francophone Caribbean "I have heard Evelyne Trouillot beginning a lecture in Lima, Peru, by saying: 'I am black, I am woman, and I am a Third World writer.' Mehta
