While scholarship on Caribbean women's literature has grown into an
established discipline, there are not many studies explicitly
connected to the maternal subject matter, and among them only a few
book-length texts have focalized motherhood and maternity in
writings by Caribbean women. Reading/Speaking/Writing the Mother
Text: Essays on Caribbean Women's Writing encourages a crucial
dialogue surrounding the state of motherhood scholarship within the
Caribbean literary landscape, to call for attention on a theme
that, although highly visible, remains understudied by academics.
While this collection presents a similar comparative and diasporic
approach to other book-length studies on Caribbean women's writing,
it deals with the complexity of including a wider geographical,
linguistic, ethnic and generic diversity, while exposing the myriad
ways in which Caribbean women authors shape and construct their
texts to theorize motherhood, mothering, maternity, and
mother-daughter relationships.
