▼ In In the Time of the Butterflies (1994), Nuestra señora de la noche (2006), and La Hija de Cuba (2006), authors Julia Alvarez, Mayra Santos-Febres, and María Elena Cruz Varela recuperate the lives and biographies of historical women from their respective national contexts (the Dominican Mirabal sisters, Puerto Rican Isabel Luberza, and Cuban Gertrudis Gómez de Avellaneda) and rewrite them in dialogue with their own experiences and perspectives in order to speak out against the dehumanizing distortion of race, class, and gender differences with the discourses of national identity in their respective contexts and to speak up from a discursive position that has been silenced by cultural representations that reify such distortions through the appropriation and exclusion of counter-hegemonic voices. Drawing on the pedagogy of Paulo Freire (Pedagogy of the Oppressed 1970), the postcolonial literary criticism of Edward Said, the feminist theorizing of Audre Lorde, and the theoretical moorings of Third World feminists Chandra Talpade Mohanty, Trin T. Minh-ha, and others, these novels are analyzed as models of a transformational identity politics that rejects essentialized elements of identity and culture imposed externally in favor of self-definition through writing. Alvarez, Santos-Febres, and Cruz Varela contribute to Third World feminist struggles for decolonization that reclaim writing as a means of defining identity and culture outside of hegemonic discourses by weaving the voices of these historical women and their own into a feminist genealogy of resistance to oppression. This study proposes that Alvarez, Santos-Febres, and Cruz Varela engage writing as praxis by recuperating these historical women as leaders of social change and establishing themselves as facilitators of liberatory dialogues with their readership. Freire’s model of liberating consciousness through dialogue is manifested within the narrative among narrative voices from different race, class, and gender locations and beyond the text as an open-ended process that begins with the dialogic nature of the initial research process, which is recreated through writing the text and subsequently bringing the knowledge and understanding gained into dialogue with the readers presented with the critical insight that it provides regarding the lives and work of these women.

▼ Writers in the Caribbean, like writers throughout the postcolonial world, return to colonial texts to rewrite the myths that justified and maintained colonial control. Exemplary of a widespread, regional phenomenon that begins at mid-century, writers such as Aimé Césaire and George Lamming take up certain texts such as Shakespeare's The Tempest and recast them in their own image. Postcolonial literary theory reads this act of rewriting the canon as a political one that speaks back to power and often advocates for political and cultural independence. Towards the end of the twentieth century and at the beginning of the twenty-first century, Caribbean women writers begin a new wave of rewriting that continues in this tradition, but with certain differences, not least of which is a focused attention to gender and sexuality and to the literary legacies of romance. In the dissertation I consider a number of novels from throughout the region that rewrite the romance, including Jean Rhys's Wide Sargasso Sea (1966), Maryse Condé's La migration des coeurs (1995), Mayra Santos-Febres's Nuestra señora de la noche (2006), and Dionne Brand's In Another Place, Not Here (1996). Romance, perhaps more than any other literary form, exerts an allegorical force that exceeds the story of individual characters. The symbolic weight of romance imagines the possibilities of a social order – a social order dependent on the sexual behavior of its citizens. By rewriting the romance, Caribbean women reconsider the sexual politics that have linked women with metaphorical constructions of the nation while at the same time detailing the extent to which transnational forces, including colonization, impact the representation of love and desire in literary texts. Although ultimately these novels refuse the generic requirements of the traditional resolution for romance (the so-called happy ending), they nonetheless gesture towards a reordering of community and a revised notion of kinship that recognizes the weight of both gendered and sexual identities in the Caribbean.
