Sahakian argues that these late-twentieth-century plays by French Caribbean women writers dramatize and enact creolization -- the process of cultural transformation through mixing and conflict that occurred in the context of the legacies of slavery and colonialism"-- Provided by publisher Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Print version record Subject Césaire, Ina -- Criticism and interpretation Condé, Maryse -- Criticism and interpretation Dambury, Gerty -- Criticism and interpretation Schwarz-Bart, Simone -- Criticism and interpretation Schwarz-Bart, Simone -- Criticism and interpretation Dambury, Gerty -- Criticism and interpretation Conde, Maryse -- Criticism and interpretation Cesaire, Ina -- Criticism and interpretation Césaire, Ina Condé, Maryse Dambury, Gerty Schwarz-Bart, Simone Ubu Repertory Theater.
