Les dramaturges antillaises
Book Description:
Les dramaturges antillaises (L'harmattan, 2008) by Carole Edwards redefines West Indian identity through the study of a sample of West Indian Francophone women dramatists. This study examines drama as a genre as it mainly uses body, music and dance. It also tackles geographical reconciliation, exile and lack of representation in a postcolonial context. From an analysis of the private sphere as a mirror of the public one, the emergence of a West Indian Identity is brought to light with a life of its own, one which is independent from peninsular French literature.
