内容説明
This study, which focuses on select novels by women writers of the African diaspora, discovers a surprising commonality among works with obvious geographical, cultural, and linguistic differences - an affirmation of the philosophical essence of the Vodun religion as an antidote to Western spiritual and cultural moribundity. The author locates specific novels by Nora Zeale Hurson, Simone Schwarz-Bart, and Paule Marshall within their socio-political context and developing African diasporic literary tradition where African-derived beliefs have become sources of cultural resistance.
