| contents | CARYL PHILLIPS’S CROSSING THE RIVER (1993): TENSIONS IN DIASPORA, DISPLACEMENT AND SPLIT SUBJECTS Thomas Bonnici Historia post Negro Diaspora homelessness split subject Pre-transnational and transnational diasporas have given rise to various fictional representations due to a deepening of the Unheimlichkeit phenomenon and process as a post-colonial condition. The African diaspora to the New World spanning four centuries and the contem porary south-north dislocation triggered by tribal wars, miserable conditions, pros titution, jobs and better living condition have been the object of novels written by authors so wide apart as Kincaid, Gordimer, Morison, Naipaul, Coetzee and Warner. In Crossing the River , Caryl Phillips dumps together, in a very cons cious way, four highly fragmented narratives involving three children sold on the African coast by a drought-stricken farmer in 1752. Research restricts itself to the narratives of the split subjects, Nash and Martha, whose homelessness reveals the trajectory of each: Nash’s gaze towards Africa and Martha’s westward journey towards subjectivity and community-building. The interlacing of these narratives brings forth not only the constant diasporic situation of Negroes worldwide but highlights the frustration and loneliness of non-colonial su bjects in a globalized world. 2006 artículo científico 1415-9945 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=305526865005 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=3055 Diálogos - Revista do Departamento de História e do Programa de Pós-Graduação em História application/pdf Universidade Estadual de Maringá Diálogos - Revista do Departamento de História e do Programa de Pós-Graduação em História (Brasil) Num.2 Vol.10 |
