3. The negotiated self: the dynamics of identity in francophone Caribbean narrative
- Collection:
- Black Caribbean Literature (BCL)
- Contributers:
- Malena,Anne (Author)
- Format:
- Book, Whole
- Publication Date:
- 1999
- Published:
- New York: Lang
- Location:

- Notes:
- 192 p, Book Description Using a multifaceted approach, this study explores questions of identity in novels by Dany Bbel-Gisler, Maryse Cond, and Emile Ollivier. As signs, narrators and characters are connected to each other dialogically and produce multilayered narratives that problematize the concept of a cohesive and static collective identity. In revealing identity to be a constantly fluctuating semiotic process, the study shows that Caribbean Francophone narrative is creating a new literary space where the dialogic underpinnings of the self are called upon to express the difficulties, the heterogeneity, and the opacity of meaning associated with any definition of a cultural or national identity.
