A Poetics of Relation
Caribbean Women Writing at the Millennium
Odile Ferly
“Combining a comprehensive overview of foundational theories and questions with insightful close readings, Ferly offers a new
direction for scholars and students of women’s writing in the Caribbean.”—Sally Barbour, professor of Romance Languages, Wake
Forest University
“Ferly’s innovative dialogue across race, ethnicity, islands, languages, and oceans, challenges colonial inheritances by engaging
polyphonic Francophone, and Hispanophone Caribbean female narratives in a profusion of creative networks summoning the
continually shifting matrix of the mangrove.”—Catherine Reinhardt, Chapman University
“A solid contribution to studies on contemporary women’s writings from the French and Spanish Caribbean rooted in the
ecologically-minded and innovative paradigm of the mangrove.”--Dawn Duke, chair of Africana Studies and associate professor of
Spanish and Portuguese, University of Tennessee
