Ecology, Spirituality, and Cosmology in Edwidge Danticat:
Crossroads as Ritual examines the form and function of ritual in
four of Danticat's fictional works-The Dew Breaker; The Farming of
Bones; Claire of the Sea Light; and Breath, Eyes, Memory-to reveal
how these texts create textual topography that heals and clarifies
Africana consciousness. Filtering ritual through the symbolic
iconography of the cosmogram and Africana women's literary
tradition, Joyce White investigates modern articulations of the
cosmogram's cosmological and philosophical iterations within the
life and existence of Africana people and establishes set systems
and beliefs that are manifest through ritual practices. White
argues that emblemed by the cruciform symbol of the crossroads, the
cosmogram within Danticat's texts emanates extendable textual,
liminal, and ritualized spaces through the inscription of the
symbol that exists within and without the boundaries of pagination.
The extension of textual landscape expands the borders and
boundaries of a given text and provides additional space for
contemplation and rumination incongruent to those spaces in its
common and normal iterations.
