Description

This book traces the powerful discourses and embodied practices during which Black Caribbean women have been imagined and produced as subjects of British liberal rule and up to date freedom. It argues that in in quest of to escape liberalism’s gendered and racialised governmentalities, Black women’s on a regular basis self-making practices construct decolonising and feminising epistemologies of freedom. These, in turn, time and again interrogate the colonial logics of liberalism and Britishness. Genealogically structured, the book begins with the narratives of freedom and identity presented by Black British Caribbean women. It then analyses critical moments of crisis in British racial rule at home and out of the country through which gender and Caribbean women figure as points of concern. Post-war Caribbean immigration to the United Kingdom, decolonisation of the British Caribbean and the post-emancipation reconstruction of the British Caribbean loom large in these considerations. In doing all of this, the writer unravels the colonial legacies that continue to underwrite latest British multicultural anxieties. This thought-provoking work will appeal to students and scholars of social and cultural history, politics, feminism, race and postcoloniality.
