Book Synopsis
For Caribbean women, the image of sucking salt has long signified how they have endured hardship and found ways to transcend it. This study examines the fiction and poetry of both emigrant and island women to explore strategies they have developed for overcoming the oppression of racism, sexism, and economic deprivation in their lives and work.

Trade Review
Gadsby's work is the most innovative contemporary analysis of an important theme of African Diaspora literary studies - migration and the transcendence over difficulty. - Carole Boyce Davies, author of Black Women, Writing, and Identity: Migrations of the Subject
