Descrição
Resumo:Erna Brodber’s Jane and Louisa Will Soon Come Home gives a female version of the search for personal and cultural identity in the multicultural context of the Caribbean. This painful search is carried out by means of psychological regeneration after a traumatic experience. The continuous border-crossing in the realms of cultural and gender identity leads the female protagonist to the final achievement of multiple identities. This condition enables the subject to cross the limits imposed by the dichotomic logic of binary oppositions, intersecting the long oppressed and forgotten peripheries.
