Description:... Investigating what West Indian women writers are saying about themselves and about women in their societies, this book argues that, like a dub version of a popular song, women writers remix the elements of the West Indian master narrative in order to articulate their own vision - one which incorporates marginalized and forgotten voices, refuses labels and limited agendas, and reconstructs an aesthetic that is both female and communally-oriented.
