Abstract
Comrade Sister: Caribbean Feminist Revisions of the Grenada Revolution, by Laurie R. Lambert
Highlights
In this feminist literary analysis of works by Caribbean writers, Laurie Lambert focuses primarily on the way women writers depict gender, as they remember the Grenada Revolution
According to Lambert, the work of the women writers she analyzes functions as an alternative to the Revolution’s archives. She believes that those archives are a “patriarchal construct, depending on knowledge from such sources as courts, newspapers, and government records.”. She argues that Caribbean women’s writing comprises a “literary archive,” one that provides a corrective to a patriarchal view of the Grenada Revolution and, more generally, “a challenge to the heroic masculinity trope so prevalent in the writing on Caribbean revolutions” (p. 16)
By putting women at the center of their work, Lambert believes that Collins and Brand provide needed criticism of male domination in both the Grenada Revolution and the broader Black radical tradition from which the Revolution’s leaders emerged
