Desire Between Women in Caribbean Literature

“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)
