- catalog abstract ""'Re/Visioning'" explores, analyzes, and contextualizes the literary voices of West Indian women writers living in the United States emerging in the 1980's. Despite having published since 1959, Barbadian American writer Paule Marshall is in the forefront of the movement. The autobiographical and cross-cultural dimensions of her four novels to date involve the reader in typical imaginative reverberations of cross-cultural experience and existence. General considerations about a sensible critical approach and the usefulness of autobiography criticism in this context are followed by a comprehensive analysis of Paule Marshall's oeuvre. In exemplary fashion, detailed readings of Praisesong for the Widow (1983) and Daughters (1991) in particular illustrate the author's textual/textural act of re/viewing and en/visioning the indivisible cross-cultural implications of her West Indian American experience.".
