The critical analyses and contemporary discussions of Afro-Caribbean Writing by Women frequently situate this body of literature within the context of a discursive field, self-identified as "feminist." Within such a context, "women's writing" is frequently presumed to have categorically different concerns from male writing, concerns which emanate from a universal experience of female oppression. Frequently, within such analyses, the cultural specificity of Black female writing is eclipsed in order to maintain the universality of the category "woman." This dissertation is an attempt to address this issue by situating contemporary Afro-Caribbean female writing within the context of narrative histories of New World slavery and colonization (the haunting past), and discussions about the cultural specificity of Black experience.

In order to approach this problem, this dissertation charts the struggles between Black intellectuals over questions of culture and colonization during the course of the last fifty years. Afro-Caribbean female writing is situated within this trajectory, with emphasis placed on how gender roles are impacted by cultural and colonial legacies. This thesis begins by using The First International Conference of Negro Writers and Artists (Paris 1956) as a point of departure for situating Black intellectual responses to these questions. This thesis also draws on trans-generational Black diasporic literary conversations, discussions of Negritude, cultural histories, and critical analyses of Caribbean fiction in order to analyze and situate the work of four Afro-Caribbean women writers.

This dissertation analyzed how these writers represented the negotiation between the official (colonial and neo-colonial) cultural context and the marginalized counter-cultural context. Frequently the identification with the official cultural context is symbolized in these works by an embrace of individuality; this embrace is characterized by a flight from "native" community and a thematic obsession with displacement and the loss of "home" and childhood memories. Inversely, the "native" cultural values are characterized by alternative medicinal practices, psycho-cultural resistance to narrative of Black inferiority, a philosophically counter-cultural approach to the use of language and the meaning of the "word," as well as mothering practices at odds with the colonially-inscribed gender roles. In this context "individualism" is revealed to be implicated in a discourse of "imperial" rights and there is a reconciliation of the notion of the "individual" with the "community" which increasingly re-configures how both are imagined.
