Rethinking Marriage in Francophone African and Caribbean
Literatures analyzes novels and films that demonstrate how marriage
affects Francophone African and Caribbean women in their respective
societies. It argues that marriage serves as a catalyst for intense
identity formation because it functions as a narrative intersection
for a number of overlapping themes on gender and the body, class
and economics, religion, interracial and intercultural identity and
nation building. Marriage provides a narrative space for commentary
on cultural practices presented in the works in question as the
foundations of cultural identity.
