First sentence: IT IS COMMONPLACE, in these times of increased interest in Caribbean women-ideal canvases, it would appear, on which to theorize on the postfeminist, postcolonial, chaos-driven societies of the twentieth century-to speak of our history, our literature, the quality of our feminism or lack thereof, as if we constituted a homogeneous block, an undivided, unfragmented and unfragmentable entity-knowable, understandable, whole.
