Abstract

about Miss T., a Black, dark-skinned woman from the Caribbean. A colonial subject relocated physically, but psychically connected to that past homeland. She is caught between both directions really, leaving the Caribbean to come to England-for dreams, for hope, for love. And then not realizing some of those ambitions, she is caught in the stormy sea, the Atlantic, on the way back to a place of security, the past happiness of youth. Miss T. is a subject in the process of migration, in the midst of the journey. And the imagery for that is like death, which promises new life. The journey hasn't ended-it's represented by her children, who have to lay her down. They represent differences-one person split into three-which fractures [sic] into even more again. (37, 39)
