    Poetics of Prophecy in Paule Marshall's Novels

    J. Basic. Appl. Sci. Res., 1(12)2600-2604, 2011 ISSN 2090-4304 Journal of Basic and Applied © 2011, TextRoad Publication Scientific Research www.textroad.com Poetics of Prophecy in Paule Marshall’s novels Fatemeh Azizmohammadi1 , Hamedreza Kohzadi 2 1,2 Department of English Literature, Arak Branch, Islamic Azad University, Arak, Iran 1 2 E-mails: [email protected], hamedreza_ [email protected] ABSTRACT Paule Marshall believes that the forces of colonialism have deprived both the oppressed and the oppressor of a sense of identity and purpose. In The Chosen Place, The Timeless People, she concentrates on history, culture and myth. She reveals events on a human, historic, and cultural continuum that evokes a time past in time present. This study attempts to examine poetics of prophecy in Paule Marshall’s novels. KEYWORDS: Paule Marshall, poetics of prophecy, Colonialism, Time, Culture, History. INTRODUCTION Then she remembered the two silver bangles she had always worn. She pushed up her coat sleeve and stretched one until it passed over her wrist, and, without turning, hurled it high over her shoulder. The bangle rose behind her, a bit of silver against the moon, then curved swiftly downward and struck a stone. A frail sound in that utter silence (Marshall 1959:255). With these lines concludes Paule Marshall's first novel Brown Girl, Brownstones and we are immediately brought into the world of ontological transmutation of the black woman's existential conditions in America. Selina's symbolic act of tossing the bangle high into the air and abandoning the Chauncey Street tenements and brownstone houses, where she grew up, is in itself a testimony to Marshall's prophetic vision that announced that the black woman in America was no more a mule of the world (Hurston 1938:29) carrying the burden heaped on her back but a radiant female hero.

Bambara credits the Harlem * African- community as having a significant influence on her writing. She learned American writer, the power of the word from “the speakers on Speaker’s Corner in Har- filmmaker, lem” (Tate 28). She also credits the musicians of the forties and fifties activist, and with giving her “voice and pace and pitch” (Tate 29). While living on feminist 151st Street between Broadway and Amsterdam, Miltona changed her * First published name to “Toni” around kindergarten. The richly diverse population of the fictional work was area contributed much to Bambara’s life lessons. Always willing to “stop Gorilla, My Love and talk,” Bambara “adopted people” to fill the place in her life for rela- tives, especially grandmothers (Deep Sightings 208-209). Although the neighborhood was instrumental in forming an important part of Bambara’s identity, the author says her greatest influence and inspiration was her mother: “My mother had great respect for the life of the mind” (Deep Sightings 212). In a poignant dedication to her mother in The Salt Eaters, Bambara writes: “Mama, Helen Brent Henderson Cade Brehon, who in 1948, having come upon me daydreaming in the middle of the kitchen floor, mopped around me.” In 1959, Toni Cade graduated from Queen’s College with a B.A. in Theater Arts/English.

    American Book Awards 2004

    BEFORE COLUMBUS FOUNDATION PRESENTS THE AMERICAN BOOK AWARDS 2004 America was intended to be a place where freedom from discrimination was the means by which equality was achieved. Today, American culture THE is the most diverse ever on the face of this earth. Recognizing literary excel- lence demands a panoramic perspective. A narrow view strictly to the mainstream ignores all the tributaries that feed it. American literature is AMERICAN not one tradition but all traditions. From those who have been here for thousands of years to the most recent immigrants, we are all contributing to American culture. We are all being translated into a new language. BOOK Everyone should know by now that Columbus did not “discover” America. Rather, we are all still discovering America—and we must continue to do AWARDS so. The Before Columbus Foundation was founded in 1976 as a nonprofit educational and service organization dedicated to the promotion and dissemination of contemporary American multicultural literature. The goals of BCF are to provide recognition and a wider audience for the wealth of cultural and ethnic diversity that constitutes American writing. BCF has always employed the term “multicultural” not as a description of an aspect of American literature, but as a definition of all American litera- ture. BCF believes that the ingredients of America’s so-called “melting pot” are not only distinct, but integral to the unique constitution of American Culture—the whole comprises the parts. In 1978, the Board of Directors of BCF (authors, editors, and publishers representing the multicultural diversity of American Literature) decided that one of its programs should be a book award that would, for the first time, respect and honor excellence in American literature without restric- tion or bias with regard to race, sex, creed, cultural origin, size of press or ad budget, or even genre.

  • Caribbean Migration and the Construction of a Black Diaspora Identity in Paule Marshall's BROWN GIRL, BROWNSTONES a Good Deal

    Caribbean Migration and the Construction of a Black Diaspora Identity in Paule Marshall's BROWN GIRL, BROWNSTONES a Good Deal

    TIMOTHY S. CHIN CaRibbEan MigRATion and THE ConSTRUCTion of A BLACK DiaSpoRA IDENTITY in PauLE MARShaLL’S Brown Girl, Brownstones A good deal of the scholarship currently being done in ethnic and cultural studies, as well as many other fields within the humanities and social sci- ences, attempts to theorize or employ diaspora models and other frameworks that enable transnational analyses.1 This essay is indebted to and builds upon this scholarship by exploring the relevance that diaspora models might have for the way we read Paule Marshall, as well as other writers like her, and African American literature in general. In fact, I would argue that the current emphasis on diasporic frameworks and issues of transnationality not only serves to illuminate aspects of Marshall’s fiction that have not been fully understood or appreciated, but also reaffirms the importance of her work. Spanning nearly four decades and tracing roots, as well as routes, that are African American as well as Caribbean, Marshall’s narratives present an especially ripe opportunity for thinking about how migration and displace- ment, key terms of the diaspora experience, affect the formation of cultural identities in the twentieth century. Although the idea of diaspora is certainly not new, the questions that are currently being asked – about borders and boundaries and their inevitable permeability, about syncretism and hybridity and the necessary “impurity” of cultures and identities, for example – may enable a more adequate assessment of the particular strengths of Marshall’s fiction: its transnational and cross-cultural focus, its representation of migrant and hybrid subjectivities, its figuration of the diaspora as an organizing prin- ciple for Black identity.
