Sugar. Revolution. These are the three axes this book uses to link the works of contemporary women artists from Haiti?a country excluded in contemporary Latin American and Caribbean literary studies?the Dominican Republic, and Cuba. In From Sugar to Revolution: Women?s Visions of Haiti, Cuba, and the Dominican Republic, Myriam Chancy aims to show that Haiti?s exclusion is grounded in its historical role as a site of ontological defiance. Her premise is that writers Edwidge Danticat, Julia Alvarez, Zoé Valdés, Loida Maritza Pérez, Marilyn Bobes, Achy Obejas, Nancy Morejón, and visual artist Maria Magdalena Campos-Pons attempt to defy fears of ?otherness? by assuming the role of ?archaeologists of amnesia.? They seek to elucidate women?s variegated lives within the confining walls of their national identifications?identifications wholly defined as male. They reach beyond the confining limits of national borders to discuss gender, race, sexuality, and class in ways that render possible the linking of all three nations. Nations such as Haiti, the Dominican Republic, and Cuba are still locked in battles over self-determination, but, as Chancy demonstrates, women?s gendered revisionings may open doors to less exclusionary imaginings of social and political realities for Caribbean people in general. 606 $aCuban literature$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aDominican literature$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aHaitian literature$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aWomen and literature$zCaribbean Area 606 $aWomen artists$zCaribbean Area 615 0$aCuban literature$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aDominican literature$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aHaitian literature$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aWomen and literature 615 0$aWomen artists 676 $a809/.8928709729 700 $aChancy$b Myriam J.
