Unbought and Unbossed
Author: Trimiko Melancon
Publisher: Temple University Press
ISBN: 1439911460
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
Unbought and Unbossed critically examines the ways black women writers in the 1970s and early 1980s deploy black female characters that transgress racial, gender, and especially sexual boundaries. Trimiko Melancon analyzes literary and cultural texts, including Toni Morrison’s Sula and Gloria Naylor’s The Women of Brewster Place, in the socio-cultural and historical moments of their production. She shows how representations of black women in the American literary and cultural imagination diverge from stereotypes and constructions of “whiteness,” as well as constructions of female identity imposed by black nationalism. Drawing from black feminist and critical race theories, historical discourses on gender and sexuality, and literary criticism, Melancon explores the variety and complexity of black female identity. She illuminates how authors including Ann Allen Shockley, Alice Walker, and Gayl Jones engage issues of desire, intimacy, and independence to shed light on a more complex black identity, one ungoverned by rigid politics over-determined by race, gender and sexuality.

Cormier Genealogy
Author: Michael Melanson
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780975260944
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 643
Book Description
In the spring of 1644, Robert Cormier, a master ship carpenter, his wife, Marie Péraud, and their two young sons, Thomas and Jean, sailed on the Le Petit Saint-Pierre from La Rochelle, France, to Cape Breton (Nova Scotia). Robert was among the tradesmen hired to work at Fort St-Pierre (today, St. Peters). His three-year contract was the longest among the men and his salary of 120 livres a year was the second highest. He was also the only one to take his family with him. In the 1670s, Thomas Cormier, his wife, Marie-Madeleine Girouard, and their young family were among the pioneers who founded the colony of Beaubassin, Acadia. They settled in the village of Ouescoque (Amherst Point, Nova Scotia), a place the Cormier family called home for 80 years. In 1755, the forced deportation of the Acadian people tore families apart. While some Cormiers were deported and held prisoner in South Carolina and Georgia, others escaped into the woods only to experience the horrors of refugee camps. Cormier Genealogy: Generations 1 - 7 tells the story of these remarkable and resilient people from their first arrival in Acadia to their post-deportation resettlement in New Brunswick, Québec, Cape Breton, Louisiana, St-Pierre et Miquelon, and St-Domingue (Haiti). This well-documented, 643-page paperback includes a 5,900-person index, complete endnotes, and a full bibliography.
