| Summary |
Relations between women - like the branches and roots of the mangrove - twist around, across, and within others as they pervade Caribbean letters. While relations between women are incorporated into the novels of Jose Marte, Mayotte Capcia, Maryse Cond, Jamaica Kincaid, Patricia Powell, and Rosario Ferre, little has been written about them. "Desire between Women in Caribbean Literature" elucidates the place of desire between women in Caribbean literature, compelling readers to rethink how we read the structures as well as the practices of sexuality |
