In A Regarded Self Kaiama L. Glover champions unruly female
protagonists who adamantly refuse the constraints of coercive
communities. Reading novels by Marie Chauvet, Maryse Conde, Rene
Depestre, Marlon James, and Jamaica Kincaid, Glover shows how these
authors' women characters enact practices of freedom that privilege
the self in ways unmediated and unrestricted by group affiliation.
The women of these texts offend, disturb, and reorder the world
around them. They challenge the primacy of the community over the
individual and propose provocative forms of subjecthood.
Highlighting the style and the stakes of these women's radical
ethics of self-regard, Glover reframes Caribbean literary studies
in ways that critique the moral principles, politicized
perspectives, and established critical frameworks that so often
govern contemporary reading practices. She asks readers and critics
of postcolonial literature to question their own gendered
expectations and to embrace less constrictive modes of
theorization.
