Alien-Nation and Repatriation

<I>AlieNation and Repatriation</I> is a critical examination of race sexuality gender and migration in Caribbean nationalist literatures. The more complex contribution made in this book however is its insistence on centering the philosophical implications of interpreting (or translating) black female subjectivity back into the literary landscapes of Caribbean literary and cultural texts from which they were erased or disciplined into silence. This book suggests that reading strategies reproduce hegemonic constructions of black women's identities and postionalities as subjects and citizens in Caribbean literature.
