Re-charting Atlantic modernities' desire lines -- Postcards of occupation : American exceptionalism and the politics of form -- Reconstituting female subjects in Haiti and the diaspora -- The romance of independence -- Love in the age of globalized sex work, secrets and depression.

Fictions of Feminine Citizenship charts an alternative history of racial and sexual formationin the Caribbean. It examines the ways in which the socialization of female sexuality and the violence of sexual intimacies have mattered to imperialist and nationalist understandings andpractices ofcitizenship. The book moves across historical periods andnational contexts ranging from nineteenth-century indentureship in Jamaica to early twentieth-century American military intervention in the Dominican Republic, Haiti, and Trinidad. Through an interdisciplinary and comparative study of novels bycontemporary diasporic Caribbean womenwriters, Donette Francis demonstrates that the sexual realities of women and girls challenge conventional regional histories. Francis definesthis emergent feminist literature as "antiromance," and argues that these novels contest the heteronormative model of coupling that underwrites constructions of home, family, nation, and diaspora in the Caribbean. Writing against the critical impulse to underscore women's agency, Francis considers instead how Caribbeanfemale subjects dwell in liminal spaces of both vulnerability and possibility.
