FREN 341 - Caribbean Women’s FictionFC ARHU CD WINT 4 credits In her 1992 essay, “Order, Disorder, Freedom and the West Indian Writer,” Maryse Condexplains that “whenever women speak out, they displease, shock, or disturb” (132). Whenever Caribbean women and non-binary authors dare to write or express their creativity, they upend or reorder the Caribbean literary landscape. Creativity means disorder; disorder means freedom; and freedom is the desire to make oneself heard even in the face of oblivion. This course will explore how women and non-binary writers with Haitian, Guadeloupian, and Martinican origins produce narratives that disturb literary, linguistic, and communal traditions to imagine a more equitable future. Prerequisites & Notes: FREN 301, 309 or 321
