{"product_id":"9781871177961","title":"Framing The Word","description":"Shifting the focus from poetry to the novel; from Afro-Cuban writing to the representation of Asian-Caribbean women; from the oral tradition to the scribal, this critical anthology develops the debate concerning ways of reading Caribbean women's literature. Framing The Word offers challenging perspectives from writers and critics alike writing and\/or teaching in the Caribbean, the UK and the USA.\u003cp\u003eReflecting on the diversity within that body of literature generally known as Caribbean women's writing, Framing The Word moves beyond the celebratory to explore and substantiate the central questions of gender and genre. This book will be of special interest to students, teachers and a wider readership interested to become better informed about this remarkable and vibrant new writing. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIsms and Schisms in the Critical Frame\u003cbr\u003eFraming The Word: Caribbean Women's Writing ?Merle Collins, Associate Professor in Creative Writing, University of Maryland, USA\u003cbr\u003eEn\/Gendering Spaces: The Poetry of Marlene Nourbese Philip and Pamela Mordecai?Elaine Savory, New School for Social Research, New York, USA\u003cbr\u003eWriting for Resistance: Nationalism and Narratives of Liberation ?Alison Donnell, Lecturer in Post-Colonial Literatures, Nottingham Trent University, England\u003cbr\u003eJamaica Kincaid's Prismatic Self and the Decolonialisation of Language and Thought ?Giovanna Covi, Researcher in English Language and Literature, University of Trento, Italy\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eViews from Within and Betwixt Genres\u003cbr\u003eFigures of Silence and Orality in the Poetry of M.
