Michael J. Dash rightly states that the master theme of Caribbean literature has been “the quest for individual identity.” Problematically, Caribbean master narratives about this subject are often androcentric, monolithic representations of Caribbean national identity. This dissertation argues that twentieth century Anglophone Caribbean women writers resist and challenge such narrow conceptualizations of national identity by exploring the multiple and complex identities of Caribbean women and their participation in the construction of Caribbean nations. I argue that Caribbean women suffer from a double colonization where they are forced to resist sexism in Caribbean communities as well as challenge imperial structures of oppression. As a result, Caribbean women writers illustrate how women develop, what Honor Ford-Smith calls, a “rebel consciousness” by recalling the folk-wisdom, strength, resilience, and survival strategies of their foremothers. I further contend that the narratives of resistance I consider ensure the longevity of Caribbean women's legacies as well as equip younger women with adequate tools for resisting oppressions, they, too, face.

This study offers a critical perspective on the fiction of four women writers from the Anglophone Caribbean: Michele Cliff, Merle Hodge, Louise Bennett, and Paule Marshall. In their explorations of national identity these women writers offer a more liberatory reading of female subjectivity as they write against a male literary tradition by writing women into Caribbean nationalist histories. The writers I examine reconfigure male interpretations of Caribbeanness in an effort to redeem women as organizers, rebels, and as indispensable to the construction of Caribbean nationhood. They conjure a space for women writers in Caribbean history. Since this project is primarily concerned with the intersection of postcoloniality and gender as well as their interconnectedness with race, class, and sexuality, I rely on various theoretical approaches such as postcolonial theory, critical race theory, and a mixture of feminisms. In addition, I provide close readings of the primary texts because I believe that theory materializes from these texts themselves. My use of multiple approaches is directly informed by the plurality of themes and tropes inherent in the work of the authors examined in this dissertation, which cannot be simplistically categorized.
