Construction Of Caribbeanness: Race And Ethnicity
[ send me this paper ]
10 pages in length. Deciphering Caribbean attributes within the literary world is not always a simple observation; rather, such depiction requires an inherent knowledge that can only be found in those who place both their hearts and souls into the work. Two authors in particular stand out in this field as successfully portraying Caribbeanness within their writings: Jean Rhys' "Wide Sargasso Sea" and Maryse Conde's "I, Tituba, Black Witch of Salem." The two authors
clearly exemplify the fundamental aspects of Caribbeanness, while at the same time address the vastness of the human condition. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
