Abstract
Abstract: This article suggests that abortion in a certain genealogy of Caribbean thought in French takes place with an overlapping consciousness of both the womb and the hold— as images and as historical, embodied, and psychic realities, in slavery and “post-slavery” Africana feminist thought; abortion depends upon what Myriam Chancy refers to as “inter-subjective transmission” of what Biko Mandela Gray and Ryan J. Johnson name as “Phenomenology of Black Spirit.” The article’s analysis focuses on Fabienne Kanor’s La poétique de la cale: Variations sur le bateau négrier (2022), Évelyne Trouillot’s Rosalie l’infâme (2003), and Kettly Mars’s Fado (2008).
