Caribbean Shadows and Victorian Ghosts Women s Writing and Decolonization.brand dionne Book Review. AUTHOR Kathleen J. Renk, Kathleen
http://www.bookfinder.us/review1/0813918359.html

Extractions: In Caribbean Shadows and Victorian Ghosts, Kathleen J. Renk demonstrates how contemporary Anglophone Caribbean women's writing radically subverts the powerful myth of the family as it is constructed in nineteenth-century British and colonial texts. Reading the fiction of Jamaica Kincaid, Dionne Brand, Jean Rhys, Erna Brodber, and Michelle Cliff alongside British texts such as Dickens's Great Expectations and Bronte's Jane Eyre, she argues that Anglophone Caribbean women writers create new narratives that simultaneously "bury" Victorian ghoststhe discourse on the Victorian mother, the plantation family discourse, and the discourse on madnessand "catch" Caribbean shadowsthe histories of forgotten or elided Caribbean ancestors and narratives of resistance.

City Of Toronto, Toronto Book Awards - 2003
thirsty by Dionne Brand McClelland Stewart Ltd. Dionne brand dionneBrand is a poet, novelist and essayist living in Toronto.
http://www.city.toronto.on.ca/book_awards/book_awards_2003/thirsty.htm

Extractions: This is a poem about the city and about a man who has visions, hovering on the edge but hating it, restless and at war with the world but wanting the peace that passeth understanding. Everything he does is half-done, except his death. When he falls, his parched spirit crying "thirsty," his family falls apart. This is a poem about Toronto, the city that's never happened before, about waiting for a bus, standing on a corner, watching a stranger: the bank to one corner, the driving school on another, the milk store and the church. This is also about the poet, her own restless sensibility woven in and out through moments of lyric beauty, dramatic power and storytelling grace. It is written in the margins, like a medieval manuscript with shades of light and darkness. Dionne Brand

Extractions: SEARCH ... CHECKOUT FIND Author: PAST FEATURES Dionne Brand Austin Clarke Lorna Crozier Marion Douglas ... Jane Urquhart The ability to make history concrete by capturing the small, ordinary things of life along with a sense of broader historical actions is not found too frequently in English poetry, particularly in North America. Dionne Brand, however, is a significant exception. To read her poetry is to read not only about her but also about her people and their struggles both in Canada and the Caribbean. In the introduction to her poetry published in A Caribbean Dozen, a collection of poetry for children, Dionne Brand illustrates both her biographical and literary background, pinpointing the essence of her desire to write: Being an Afro-Caribbean Canadian poet and writer, Dionne Brand is a particular kind of exiled woman who has made a strength out of her experience of multiple displacements. Of African descent, her cultural and linguistic history has been truncated by the forcible displacement of her ancestors from Africa to the New World. Her life in the Caribbean has been affected coined by the unavoidable impact of colonialism, namely the linguistic and cultural displacements which she often deals with in her poetry. In Canada, despite encountering racism and rejection, she has emerged as a multicultural and multifaceted poet and writer who has left a indelible imprint on the cultural mosaic of Canada.
