Download or read book Reclaiming Home Remembering Motherhood Rewriting History written by Marie Drews and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2009-05-05 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reclaiming Home, Remembering Motherhood, Rewriting History: African American and Afro-Caribbean Women’s Literature in the Twentieth Century offers a critical valuation of literature composed by black female writers and examines their projects of reclamation, rememory, and revision. As a collection, it engages black women writers’ efforts to create more inclusive conceptualizations of community, gender, and history, conceptualizations that take into account alternate lived and written experiences as well as imagined futures. Contributors to this collection probe the realms of gender studies, postcolonialism, and post-structural theory and suggest important ways in which to explore connections between home, motherhood, and history across the multifarious narratives of African American and Afro-Caribbean experiences. Together they argue that it is through their female characters that black women writers demonstrate the tumultuous processes of deciphering home and homeland, of articulating the complexities of mothering relationships, and of locating their own personal history within local and national narratives. Essays gathered in this collection consider the works of African American women writers (Pauline Hopkins, Toni Morrison, Jessie Redmon Fauset, Audre Lorde, Lalita Tademy, Lorene Cary, Octavia Butler, Zora Neale Hurston, and Sherley Anne Williams) alongside the works of black women writers from the Caribbean (Jamaica Kincaid and Gisèle Pineau), Guyana (Grace Nichols), and Cuba (María de los Reyes Castillo Bueno).

She is now 20 and running for her life all alone, after three years of horrific events, including the psychotic murder of her boyfriend Eric. Ruby has covertly secured the personal secret papers of deceased MI6 agent Roger Davis who died protecting her. Davis also hid some more information in Australia, that was so sensitive, he could tell no one. MI6, the CIA and a third party of terrorists run by Sergei Mudarov, know about the information but not its location. Ruby is in a dangerous position, as many believe that she is better off dead, rather than reveal the contents of the 'Davis Papers'. However, anyone finding and using the information would be capable of wielding its power to blackmail the world's superpowers, by threatening to detonate nuclear 'dirty bombs' in major cities. This story takes you on an adventurous cat and mouse game to find Ruby - as she tries to find her way through her problems and re-assess her relationship with the British Secret Service. They send their top agent, Tian 'The Taipan' after her amid rogue agents in the CIA, while Mudarov plans to rule the world using his cruel hit-woman, Matylda.
