Odious Caribbean Women And The Palpable Aesthetics Of Transgression

This book centers on visual and literary productions of Francophone Caribbean women. It investigates their aesthetics of violence, pain, the abhorrent, and the "uglification" of the feminine to unravel what makes them transgressive and uncommodifiable. It probes the ways in which these works destroy the regimentation of the "ideal" body.
