Desire Between Women in Caribbean Literature cover

Relations between women - like the branches and roots of the mangrove - twist around, across, and within others as they pervade Caribbean letters. Desire between Women in Caribbean Literature elucidates the place of desire between women in Caribbean letters, compelling readers to rethink how to read the structures and practices of sexuality.

“Valens’s engrossing, convincing, and eminently readable study repositions the Caribbean literary texts she analyses in new, uncharted directions. As she explores both traditional and innovative territory for women’s desires, relationships, and positions, she forges new ground beyond heteronormative discourses and readings, allowing for anyone interested in gender studies, the Caribbean, and postcolonialism to gain new perspectives and engaging insights into these texts.” (Mary McCullough, Studies in 20th & 21st Century Literature, newprairiepress.org, Vol. 41 (2), 2017)
