Liberation Poetics: Caribbean Feminisms Against Imperialism

“…in traumatic times like ours when reality itself is so distorted as to have become impossible and abnormal, it is the function of all culture, partaking of this abnormality, to be aware of its own sickness…To reinterpret this reality is to commit oneself to a revolutionary assault against it. For me then, the play, the novel, the poem, the critical essay, are means to this end — not ends in themselves.”
