Download or read book Toubab La Literary Representations of Mixed Race Characters in the African Diaspora written by Ginette Curry and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2009-05-05 with total page 435 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is an examination of mixed-race characters from writers in the United States, The French and British Caribbean islands (Martinique, Guadeloupe, St. Lucia and Jamaica), Europe (France and England) and Africa (Burkina Faso, South Africa, Botswana and Senegal). The objective of this study is to capture a realistic view of the literature of the African diaspora as it pertains to biracial and multiracial people. For example, the expression “Toubab La!” as used in the title, is from the Wolof ethnic group in Senegal, West Africa. It means “This is a white person” or “This is a black person who looks or acts white.” It is used as a metaphor to illustrate multiethnic people’s plight in many areas of the African diaspora and how it has evolved. The analysis addresses the different ways multiracial characters look at the world and how the world looks at them. These characters experience historical, economic, sociological and emotional realities in various environments from either white or black people. Their lineage as both white and black determines a new self, making them constantly search for their identity. Each section of the manuscript provides an in-depth analysis of specific authors’ novels that is a window into their true experiences. The first section is a study of mixed race characters in three acclaimed contemporary novels from the United States. James McBride’s The Color of Water (1996), Danzy Senna’s Caucasia (1998) and Rebecca Walker’s Black White and Jewish (2001) reveal the conflicting dynamics of being biracial in today’s American society. The second section is an examination of mixed-race characters in the following French Caribbean novels: Mayotte Capécia’s I Am a Martinican Woman (1948), Michèle Lacrosil’s Cajou (1961) and Ravines du Devant-Jour (1993) by Raphaël Confiant. Section three is about their literary representations in Derek Walcott’s What the Twilight Says (1970), Another life (1973), Dream on Monkey Mountain (1967) and Michelle Cliff’s Abeng (1995) from the British Caribbean islands. Section four is an in-depth analysis of their plight in novels written by contemporary mulatto writers from Europe such as Marie N’Diaye’s Among Family (1997), Zadie Smith’s White Teeth (2000) and Bernardine Evaristo’s Lara (1997). Finally, the last section of the book is a study of novels from West African and South African writers. The analysis of Monique Ilboudo’s Le Mal de Peau (2001), Bessie Head’s A Woman Alone: Autobiographical Writings (1990) and Abdoulaye Sadji’s Nini, Mulâtresse du Sénégal (1947) concludes this literary journey that takes the readers through several continents at different points in time. Overall, this comprehensive study of mixed-race characters in the literature of the African diaspora reveals not only the old but also the new ways they decline, contest and refuse racial clichés. Likewise, the book unveils how these characters resist, create, reappropriate and revise fixed forms of identity in the African diaspora of the 20th and 21st century. Most importantly, it is also an examination of how the authors themselves deal with the complex reality of a multiracial identity.

Book excerpt: Le jeune prince Karol de Roswald venait de perdre sa mère lorsqu'il fit connaissance avec la Floriani. Il était plongé encore dans une tristesse profonde, et rien ne pouvait le distraire. La princesse de Roswald avait été pour lui une mère tendre et parfaite. Elle avait prodigué à son enfance débile et souffreteuse les soins les plus assidus et le dévouement le plus entier. Élevé sous les yeux de cette digne et noble femme, le jeune homme n'avait eu qu'une passion réelle dans toute sa vie: l'amour filial. Cet amour réciproque du fils et de la mère les avait rendus exclusifs, et peut-être un peu trop absolus dans leur manière de voir et de sentir. La princesse était d'un esprit supérieur et d'une grande instruction, il est vrai; son entretien et ses enseignements semblaient pouvoir tenir lieu de tout au jeune Karol. La frêle santé de celui-ci s'était opposée à ces études classiques, pénibles, sèchement tenaces, qui ne valent pas toujours par elles-mêmes les leçons d'une mère éclairée, mais qui ont cet avantage indispensable de nous apprendre à travailler, parce qu'elles sont comme la clef de la science de la vie. La princesse de Roswald ayant écarté les pédagogues et les livres, par ordonnance des médecins, s'était attachée à former l'esprit et le cœur de son fils, par sa conversation, par ses récits, par une sorte d'insufflation de son être moral, que le jeune homme avait aspirée avec délices. Il était donc arrivé à savoir beaucoup sans avoir rien appris. Mais rien ne remplace l'expérience; et le soufflet que, dans mon enfance, on donnait encore aux marmots pour leur graver dans la mémoire le souvenir d'une grande émotion, d'un fait historique, d'un crime célèbre, ou de tout autreexemple à suivre ou à éviter, n'était pas chose si niaise que cela nous parait aujourd'hui. Nous ne donnons plus ce soufflet à nos enfants; mais ils vont le chercher ailleurs, et la lourde main de l'expérience l'applique plus rudement que ne ferait la nôtre. Le jeune Karol de Roswald connut donc le monde et la vie de bonne heure, de trop bonne heure peut-être, mais par la théorie et non par la pratique. Dans le louable dessein d'élever son âme, sa mère ne laissa approcher de lui que des personnes distinguées, dont les préceptes et l'exemple devaient lui être salutaires. Il sut bien que dehors il y avait des méchants et des fous, mais il n'apprit qu'à les éviter, nullement à les connaître. On lui enseigna bien à secourir les malheureux; les portes du palais où s'écoula son enfance étaient toujours ouvertes aux nécessiteux; mais, tout en les assistant, il s'habitua à mépriser la cause de leur détresse et à regarder cette plaie comme irrémédiable dans l'humanité. Le désordre, la paresse, l'ignorance ou le manque de jugement, sources fatales d'égarement et de misère, lui parurent, avec raison, incurables chez les individus. On ne lui apprit point à croire que les masses doivent et peuvent insensiblement s'en affranchir, et qu'en prenant l'humanité corps à corps, en discutant avec elle, en la gourmandent, et la caressant tour à tour, comme un enfant qu'on aime, en lui pardonnant beaucoup de rechutes pour en obtenir quelques progrès, on fait plus pour elle qu'en jetant à ses membres perclus ou gangrenés le secours restreint de la compassion.
