Abstract

[This study brings to the fore nine authors from the Francophone and Hispanophone Caribbean who belong to a distinct but long overlooked literary tradition. Designated here as millennial women writers, they emerged in the late 1980s and 1990s. Their fiction resists the monolithic nature of many identity discourses that do not adequately capture the complexity of the region and its makeup and often marginalize the local female experience and that of other subalterns. The authors under discussion here resort to a lib-eratory poetics that informs their thematic, style, and ideology. They clearly engage in a poetics of Relation, as their polyphonic literary projects show a marked preference for the relative and the (gender) characteristic, for the multi-lingual, the oral, and the baroque, foregrounding the thoughts of heterogeneity and Creolization,1 the diverse and Chaos, as well as the tradition of errance.]
