Abstract

Caribbean writers such as Gisele Pineau, Maryse Conde, Yannick Lahens, Dany Laferriere, 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 Gisele 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 Gisele Pineau novels? The study also investigates why the feelings of disillusion manifest in the lives of Gisele 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 Gisele Pineau: Un Papillon dans la cite, 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.
