This study underscores the socio-cultural impact of emigration and the perpetual self-redefinition that results from this phenomenon. Without denying the enduring impact of former colonial divisions or minimizing the specificities to each bloc in the region, Ferly shows that a comparative analysis of female narratives is often most pertinent across linguistic zones.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e'[This book]stands out among other comparative studies in the field by engaging Edouard Glissant's image of the rhizome and his theory of Relation to construct a pan-Caribbean approach that delineates a unique female literary tradition.
