The thesis considers Marlon James\u0026amp;#39;s 2005 novel, John Crow\u0026amp;#39;s Devil and seeks to establish that the character of Lucinda’s ugliness, overt sexuality and powers of flight are demonstrations of a transgressive body. This body challenges expected norms, and mirrors the upheaval of the status quo within the social order. Transgression theory is explained and then situated within a Caribbean Gothic aesthetic in order to illustrate how James presents a critical stance towards institutional power and the prejudice it generates. Having established context, religious syncretism, one key aspect of Jamaican society, is used to highlight examples of transgression in the novel. Finally, symbolic references from both biblical and regional traditions are reviewed in order to illuminate the textual examples presented. These are read in light of Barbara Lalla’s concept of ‘facetiness’, an intrinsically Caribbean form of textual transgression. Ultimately, it is concluded that, by highlighting social injustice, as exposed through the body of the character, James encourages the reader to make their own value judgements.","author":[{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"Person","name":"Bethany Louise

They are never seen capable of being the aggressors, their trauma or the complete lack of it, when they become the mute spectators of violence, is hardly ever recognised and if violence is perpetrated on them, it is normalised as being the fate of their kind. In his novel, The Book of Night Women, Marlon James traces out the lives of Jamaican slave women during the period of British colonisation of the island. James attempts to narrate from the perspective of women in general and slave women in particular. He does not shy away from associating women with violence. They are seen as perpetrators, spectators and victims of violence. In The Book of Night Women, violence is not constrained by gender. The attempt of this paper is to study the female characters of the novel in the three broad categories of perpetrators, spectators and victims of violence.</p><div class="ds-related-work--ctas"><button class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"wsj-grid-card-download-pdf-modal","work_title":"The \" True Darkness \" of the Slave Woman: Portrayal of women and violence in Marlon James' The Book of Night Women","attachmentId":55624661,"attachmentType":"pdf","work_url":"https://www.academia.edu/35749582/The_True_Darkness_of_the_Slave_Woman_Portrayal_of_women_and_violence_in_Marlon_James_The_Book_of_Night_Women","alternativeTracking":true}"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">download</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download free PDF</span></button><a class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-wsj-grid-card-view-pdf" href="https://www.academia.edu/35749582/The_True_Darkness_of_the_Slave_Woman_Portrayal_of_women_and_violence_in_Marlon_James_The_Book_of_Night_Women"><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View PDF</span><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">chevron_right</span></a></div></div><div class="ds-related-work--container js-wsj-grid-card" data-collection-position="1" data-entity-id="110313693" data-sort-order="default"><a class="ds-related-work--title js-wsj-grid-card-title ds2-5-body-md ds2-5-body-link" href="https://www.academia.edu/110313693/Market_Aesthetics_The_Purchase_of_the_Past_in_Caribbean_Diasporic_Fiction_Elena_Machado_S%C3%A1ez_Salvage_Work_U_S_and_Caribbean_Literatures_amid_the_Debris_of_Legal_Personhood_Angela_Naimou">Market Aesthetics: The Purchase of the Past in Caribbean Diasporic Fiction.

Rhys’s West Indian roots are often referenced and Anglicized both in terms of, and because of, her engagement with Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre (vis-à-vis Wide Sargasso Sea). _Good Morning, Midnight’s_ protagonist, Sasha Jensen, refracts the uniquely Caribbean experience of dislocation through the modernist aesthetic of detachment. _Good Morning, Midnight_ is the last book in a series of four that Rhys published in a period of eleven years after World War I. The disturbingly ambiguous nature of her characters reveal the complex intersectionality of race and gender in “foreign” bodies and the ways that Rhys searched to recalibrate the discourse of colonial modernism. _Good Morning, Midnight’s_ 1939 publication marked a time when, as Jed Esty has so eloquently argued in both Unseasonable Youth (2011) and A Shrinking Island (2003), Britain was “shrinking.” Esty unpacks the intersections between modernist aesthetics and imperial designs and illuminates how national “contraction” leads to modernist rejuvenation and creativity (Introduction, _A Shrinking Island_). The injection of energy registers differently for Caribbean subjects than it does for British ones. Simon Gikandi similarly contends that for Anglophone Caribbean subjects, “only by subverting colonial modernism could these writers become modernists” (_Writing in Limbo_, 256). Gikandi highlights the challenge of Caribbean authors writing themselves out of colonial modalities of modernism using “a European language already loaded with Eurocentric figures” (15). Esty and Gikandi both make the point that it is reductive to assume that a writer like Rhys is simply not capable of authoring a fuller narrative with a traditional and more pleasing aesthetic. Rhys categorically refuses the impulse to write growth and maturation into the stories of her protagonists.

There is now an increasing amount of research and critical discussion that focuses on the profound effect the legacy of plantation slavery had on the development of black masculinity in the region, but there is silence concerning the black male body as a site of physical and psychological trauma. I will interrogate the way in which Caribbean writers have represented and critiqued the exploitation of black female bodies, the consumption of black male bodies on the plantation, as well as the projection of feminizing fantasies on to black male slaves. Through these discussions and through examining existing research on the creation of black masculinity on the plantation, I will emphasise the dominance of slavery in this problematic identity creation. I concentrate primarily on Jamaican authors, in particular Marlon James’ The Book of Night Women and James Carnegie’s Wages Paid. These texts will be used to discuss the varying representations of slavery, problematizing the development of black male identity as mentioned before, and they will also be used to evaluate the patriarchal system of slavery and the effects of this on black female slaves. Using the work of leading scholars on Caribbean identity formation, I will be comparing the literary texts using the main arguments of Rhoda Reddock, Hilary McD Beckles and Katherine Mckittrick.</p><div class="ds-related-work--ctas"><button class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"wsj-grid-card-download-pdf-modal","work_title":"How are black identities, specifically black masculinity, constructed on the plantation and represented in Caribbean literary fiction?","attachmentId":58440749,"attachmentType":"pdf","work_url":"https://www.academia.edu/38384690/How_are_black_identities_specifically_black_masculinity_constructed_on_the_plantation_and_represented_in_Caribbean_literary_fiction","alternativeTracking":true}"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">download</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download free PDF</span></button><a class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-wsj-grid-card-view-pdf" href="https://www.academia.edu/38384690/How_are_black_identities_specifically_black_masculinity_constructed_on_the_plantation_and_represented_in_Caribbean_literary_fiction"><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View PDF</span><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">chevron_right</span></a></div></div><div class="ds-related-work--container js-wsj-grid-card" data-collection-position="4" data-entity-id="111079593" data-sort-order="default"><a class="ds-related-work--title js-wsj-grid-card-title ds2-5-body-md ds2-5-body-link" href="https://www.academia.edu/111079593/Caribbean_Queer_Inscriptions_and_Potentialities_in_Shivanee_Ramlochan_s_Everyone_Knows_I_Am_a_Haunting_and_Nalo_Hopkinson_s_The_Salt_Roads">Caribbean Queer: Inscriptions and Potentialities in Shivanee Ramlochan’s Everyone Knows I Am a Haunting and Nalo Hopkinson’s The Salt Roads</a><div class="ds-related-work--metadata"><a class="js-wsj-grid-card-author ds2-5-body-sm ds2-5-body-link" data-author-id="286870747" href="https://independent.academia.edu/GarciaParellada">Gemma Garcia-Parellada</a></div><p class="ds-related-work--metadata ds2-5-body-xs">2019</p><p class="ds-related-work--abstract ds2-5-body-sm">This study aims to analyse how queer subjects are able to articulate their non-normative and unstable gendered and/or sexual identities in Caribbean literary texts, drawing on both Caribbean cultural and queer theories. In the present study I will focus on how some characters are depicted as queer subjects in some poems from Shivanee Ramlochan’s Everyone Knows I Am a Haunting and in Nalo Hopkinson’s novel The Salt Roads and on how both texts open the possibility to imagine constructions of gender and sexuality that contest hegemonic heteronormativity based on a binary system. More specifically, I will analyse how both authors’ construction of cultural identities in relation to queer subjects draws on Caribbean cultural manifestations and folklore, as both authors present narratives that are attendant to local realities. In addition, this paper elucidates how these authors inscribe the presence of queer characters in Caribbean history, space and time.

This article explores both of these linkages.

It emphasizes the radical potential of such sympathy while indicating that affective politics requires the supplement of a cognitive grasp of slavery as a system of domination and labor exploitation.</p><div class="ds-related-work--ctas"><button class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"wsj-grid-card-download-pdf-modal","work_title":"'A Good Head and a Better Whip': Ireland, Enlightenment, and the Body of Slavery in Marlon James's *The Book of Night Women*","attachmentId":48913594,"attachmentType":"pdf","work_url":"https://www.academia.edu/28557800/A_Good_Head_and_a_Better_Whip_Ireland_Enlightenment_and_the_Body_of_Slavery_in_Marlon_Jamess_The_Book_of_Night_Women_","alternativeTracking":true}"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">download</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download free PDF</span></button><a class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-wsj-grid-card-view-pdf" href="https://www.academia.edu/28557800/A_Good_Head_and_a_Better_Whip_Ireland_Enlightenment_and_the_Body_of_Slavery_in_Marlon_Jamess_The_Book_of_Night_Women_"><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View PDF</span><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">chevron_right</span></a></div></div><div class="ds-related-work--container js-wsj-grid-card" data-collection-position="9" data-entity-id="27102972" data-sort-order="default"><a class="ds-related-work--title js-wsj-grid-card-title ds2-5-body-md ds2-5-body-link" href="https://www.academia.edu/27102972/Introduction_to_The_Cross_Dressed_Caribbean_Writing_Politics_Sexualities_by_Maria_Cristina_Fumagalli_B%C3%A9n%C3%A9dicte_Ledent_and_Roberto_del_Valle_Alcala">Introduction to The Cross-Dressed Caribbean: Writing, Politics, Sexualities, by Maria Cristina Fumagalli, Bénédicte Ledent and Roberto del Valle Alcala</a><div class="ds-related-work--metadata"><a class="js-wsj-grid-card-author ds2-5-body-sm ds2-5-body-link" data-author-id="400043" href="https://ulg.academia.edu/BenedicteLedent">Benedicte Ledent</a></div><p class="ds-related-work--metadata ds2-5-body-xs">2013</p><div class="ds-related-work--ctas"><button class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"wsj-grid-card-download-pdf-modal","work_title":"Introduction to The Cross-Dressed Caribbean: Writing, Politics, Sexualities, by Maria Cristina Fumagalli, Bénédicte Ledent and Roberto del Valle Alcala","attachmentId":47354240,"attachmentType":"pdf","work_url":"https://www.academia.edu/27102972/Introduction_to_The_Cross_Dressed_Caribbean_Writing_Politics_Sexualities_by_Maria_Cristina_Fumagalli_B%C3%A9n%C3%A9dicte_Ledent_and_Roberto_del_Valle_Alcala","alternativeTracking":true}"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">download</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download free PDF</span></button><a class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-wsj-grid-card-view-pdf" href="https://www.academia.edu/27102972/Introduction_to_The_Cross_Dressed_Caribbean_Writing_Politics_Sexualities_by_Maria_Cristina_Fumagalli_B%C3%A9n%C3%A9dicte_Ledent_and_Roberto_del_Valle_Alcala"><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View PDF</span><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">chevron_right</span></a></div></div></div></div><div class="ds-sticky-ctas--wrapper js-loswp-sticky-ctas hidden"><div class="ds-sticky-ctas--grid-container"><div class="ds-sticky-ctas--container"><button class="ds2-5-button js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"continue-reading-button--sticky-ctas","attachmentId":47073470,"attachmentType":"pdf","workUrl":null}">See full PDF</button><button class="ds2-5-button ds2-5-button--secondary js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"download-pdf-button--sticky-ctas","attachmentId":47073470,"attachmentType":"pdf","workUrl":null}"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 20px" translate="no">download</span>Download PDF</button></div></div></div><div class="ds-below-fold--grid-container"><div class="ds-work--container js-loswp-embedded-document"><div class="attachment_preview" data-attachment="Attachment_47073470" style="display: none"><div class="js-scribd-document-container"><div class="scribd--document-loading js-scribd-document-loader" style="display: block;"><img alt="Loading..." src="//a.academia-assets.com/images/loaders/paper-load.gif" /><p>Loading Preview</p></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="scribd--no-preview-alert js-preview-unavailable"><p>Sorry, preview is currently unavailable.
