    Notes:
    208 p., Analyzes literary representation of the island in Caribbean women's literature as a key component of the gendered construction of diasporic identity. This book centers on the representations of the island - whether in Anglophone, Hispanophone, or Francophone Caribbean literature - and the inherent contradictions they raise.
