Summary "Comrade Sister looks at the literature of the Grenada Revolution (1979-1983) and that island revolution's relationship to gender and sexuality. Lambert looks at work by writers such as Merle Collins, Dionne Brand, George Lamming, Andrew Salkey, and Derek Walcott to consider Caribbean women subjects from different generations and class positions. She argues that the Grenada Revolution, while liberating in many regards, brought with it violent change and traumatic repetition of earlier forms of patriarchal and heterosexist oppression stemming from colonialism"-- Provided by publisher
