Abstract

This chapter examines the transgression of borders as in the fictional production of female authors of the contemporary Caribbean. It demonstrates the extent to which the selected authors depict fluid spaces as allowing the emergence of alternative subjectivities beyond trauma and normative borders. To what extent do they proceed to transcend normative borders so as to reconfigure spaces that allow the construction and deconstruction of fluid subjectivities? How do they depict alternative bodies that exist beyond static borders? Fluid spaces and the spaces of below may become the very borderless spaces allowing African diasporic female subjectivities to heal, exacerbate and recreate.
