    Caribbean Literary Interventions: Critiques of Humanism in the Works of Beryl Gilroy, Claudia Jones and Sylvia Wynter Inaugural-Dissertation zur Erlangung des Doktorgrades der Philosophie des Fachbereiches 05 – Sprache, Literatur, Kultur der Justus-Liebig-Universität Gießen vorgelegt von Lea Hülsen aus 30163 Hannover 2020 Dekan: Prof. Dr. Thomas Möbius 1. Berichterstatter: Dr. habil. Michael Basseler 2. Berichterstatter: Prof. Dr. Sabine Broeck Tag der Disputation: 02.07.2020 ii Acknowledgments I have to be completely honest. Writing a dissertation was not easy. Most of the time it was simply hard work. More than once I reached the limits of what I thought I could do or achieve. I had to realise that writing a dissertation not only means thinking about and developing an argument for years, but to acknowledge and accept the change it effects on a personal level. In the end I also learned that writing a dissertation was more than hard work — it was a process of getting closer to the person I would like to become. I want to thank Ansgar Nünning for founding the Graduate Centre for the Study of Culture (GCSC) as well as the International PhD Programme (IPP). I was welcomed warmly in Gießen in October 2015 and deeply appreciate the institutional, academic, financial and moral support both programmes gave me. I also want to particularly thank the support system the GCSC offers for young mothers. Combining family life and pursuing a PhD is difficult and the GCSC made it easier if not even possible. I wholeheartedly thank my first supervisor Michael Basseler. His input and feedback pushed this dissertation into the right direction and was always poignant and constructive.

  • Cultural Production in Andrea Levy's Small Island Author: Alicia E
    ENTERTEXT Identity as Cultural Production in Andrea Levy's Small Island Author: Alicia E. Ellis Source: EnterText, “Special Issue on Andrea Levy 9,” (2012): 69-83. Abstract Andrea Levy's Small Island (2004) presents a counter-history of the period before and after World War II (1939-1945) when men and women from the Caribbean volunteered for all branches of the British armed services and many eventually immigrated to London after the war officially ended in 1945. Her historical novel moves back and forth between 1924 and 1948 as well as across national borders and cultures. Levy’s novel, written more than fifty years after the first Windrush arrival, creates a common narrative of nation and identity in order to understand the experiences of Black people in Britain. Small Island—structured around four competing voices whose claims of textual, personal and historical truth must be acknowledged—refuses to establish a singular articulation of the experience of migration and empire. In this essay, I focus on discrete moments in the “Prologue” in Levy’s Small Island in order to think through the formation of discursive identity through the encounter with others and the necessity of accommodating difference. Small Island forecloses the possibility of addressing modern multiculturalism as a purported ‘happy ending’ in light of Levy’s formulation of the Windrush moment as disruptive, violent, and overwhelmed by flawed characters. Yet, through the space of writing, she also invites the reader to experience moments of encounter and negotiate the often competing claims on nationhood, citizenship, and culture.

    Acta Scientiarum. Human and Social Sciences ISSN: 1679-7361 [email protected] Universidade Estadual de Maringá Brasil Bonnici, Thomas Pós-colonialismo e representação feminina na literatura pós - colonial em inglês Acta Scientiarum. Human and Social Sciences, vol. 28, núm. 1, 2006, pp. 13-25 Universidade Estadual de Maringá Maringá, Brasil Available in: http://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=307324792003 Abstract Feminine characters in recent post -colonial novels Crossing the River (1993) by Caryl Phillips; Fruit of the Lemon (1999) and Small Island (2004) by Andrea Levy; Disgrace (1999) by J.M. Coetzee; The Pickup (2001) by Nadine Gordimer; and Purple Hibiscus (2003) by Chimamanda Adichie are analyzed. Research verifies whether w ithin contemporary feminism common clues and significant differences exist in the representation of females by authors writing in English from several post -colonial societies. Methodology is based on theoretical texts on power, voice, agency, alterity and resistance, which have been developed by Ashcroft, Bhabha, Said, Spivak, Todorov and others. Results show that the above - mentioned novels still maintain a patriarchal framework to describe women¿s condition even though a constant struggle exists so that sh e may be or become an agent in the society in which she lives. All novelists reveal that a broad -notion resistance is already achieved, even though it may be paradoxically characterized as positive and ambiguous. In spite of great advances in female agency, residues of colonial inheritance, endemic patriarchy in African and Caribbean societies, contemporary diasporas and conditions originating from globalization and attempts at suppressing multiculturalism still exist and must be resisted.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Anthurium: A Caribbean Studies Journal by an authorized editor of Scholarly Repository. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Sáez: Bittersweet (Be)Longing: Filling the Void of History in Andrea Levy’s... Andrea Levy’s Fruit of the Lemon is an unusual historical novel in terms of its relationship to the emplotment of history. On the one hand, Levy’s novel takes as its subject the historically specific dilemma of belonging faced by the Afro-Caribbean diaspora in Britain during the 1980’s. On the other hand, the narrative itself provides no explicit sense of this historical timeframe. The nuclear family tree that opens the novel does not provide birth dates and, consequently, the Jackson family is not overtly associated with the Windrush generation of immigrants to Britain. This lack of explicit historical contextualization is perhaps what has led one critic to remark that “the novel is primarily concerned with coming to terms with [Faith’s] individual sense of identity rather than the wider social and political contexts of racism and gender discrimination.”1 However, the novel does connect the development of its main character, Faith, to an identifiable historical context via markers of popular culture, such as the movies and TV shows that the characters watch or the music that they listen to.
