About this product
Product Information
Female characters who suffer madness and insanity are strikingly prominent in novels by women writers of Africa and the Caribbean. To find out why there are so many suffocated hearts and tortured souls in this literature, Valerie Orlando here closely reads the work of Aminata Sow Fall, Mariama Ba, Myrian Warner-Vieyra and Simone Schwarz-Bart, among others. In these women's novels, Orlando finds, madness is the manifestation of a rent identity; this study thus is one that interrogates the nature of that identity. Francophone women novelists of Africa and the Caribbean - though they come from countries whose unique experiences of colonialism, revolution and postcolonial regimes have shaped specific and discrete cultures - express a common search for a meaningful relationship between their experience as women to the history and destiny of their nations. Only when woman is understood not as an ahistorical object but as a subject whose lived body is entwined with political, cultural and economic structures, Orlando argues, will insanity finally give way to clarity of being.

Fantastic seller! My item took longer than normal to arrive but that's due to them sending me the wrong dvd. Not to worry though, I contacted them and they arranged for the correct dvd to be sent out. My item has now arrived and the dvd was in excellent condition (brand new as described) and it was very well packaged. I would also like to say that the value for money is excellent. I highly recommend this seller, thank you so much! The issue with the wrong dvd was quickly rectified .

No communication needed with seller, so don't know what to rate with regards to communication (please dont take lack of feedback on this matter as a negative). Thanks again.

This vinyl is really reasonably priced and I love that it is one of the more unusual colours. It arrived well packaged, undamaged and looks as described. It arrived late, due to Royal Mail's Festive rush, but was dispatched by the seller really quickly. When I contacted them to ask where it was, they replied really quickly with a helpful solution. Such good customer service, so strongly recommend. Really happy with my purchase.
