The present work deals with the representation of trauma and
violence in coming-of-age stories written by African-American and
Afro-Caribbean women authors in the United States. The kinds of
violence explored in this work are related to the post-colonial
condition the women protagonists experience, in which racism,
sexism, classism, among other kinds of discrimination, are
co-created in an intersectional experience of oppression. The
titles analyzed in this work are: Lucy (1990), written by Jamaica
Kincaid; Breath, Eyes, Memory (1994), written by Edwidge Danticat;
Bone Black - Memories of Girlhood (1996), written by bell hooks;
and God Help the Child (2015), written by Toni Morrison. The
Bildungsroman genre serves as the form with which the authors are
able to display the different forms of violence experienced during
the the process of growing up female and black in the United
States, and also in the Caribbean islands of Antigua and Haiti, in
the cases of Kincaid and Danticat respectively. The coming-of-age
stories written by women, and more specifically by African-American
and Afro-Caribbean women, tend to showcase narratives in which the
tensions between the protagonists' self-determination and the
influence of social and cultural factors in their development
opportunities are negotiated. The genre is adapted and subverted by
the authors, deviating from its canonical European origins,
becoming a site in which the authors are able to represent
different kinds of violence, and the subsequent traumatic
consequences caused by it.
