Abstract

Caribbean writers such as Gisèle Pineau, Maryse Condé, Yannick Lahens, Dany Laferrière, Louis Philipe Dalembert, Stanley Pean and Emile Olivier have written a lot of literary works on the question of exile. Therefore, the objective of this study is to examine how Gisèle Pineau attempts to show the consequences of exile, which is disillusion in her novels. The study aims to find out why the problem of exile is prevalent in Gisèle Pineau novels? The study also investigates why the feelings of disillusion manifest in the lives of Gisèle Pineau characters that are in exile. Consequently, this study will show that racism, traumatic experience and cultural shock suffered by characters can cause disillusion. Therefore, the study recommends that the only solution to the problem of exile is to return to homeland. To do so, we are going to analyze three novels of Gisèle Pineau: Un Papillon dans la cité, L’Exil selon Julia et Chair Piment. To carry out an effective research, we are going to make use of sociological approach which seems important to us for the study.
