Born in the Caribbean, Philomena Jones is abandoned by her mother and left to the mercy of her grandmother, who, after raising eight children and grandchildren, is not capable of dedicating herself to another child. Love-starved, Philomena is easy prey for the island’s new pastor. She leaves home for America, hoping to find her mother, but ends up drifting and battling mental illness. Relocated to a supportive housing facility, Philomena meets a diverse cast of women who, despite their wildly differing backgrounds and difficulties, share one common bond; their history of abuse. In this most unexpected of places, will Philomena finally find the family she has been longing for?

Overlooked in the history of artistic endeavors are the contributions of female writers, painters, and crafters of the Caribbean. The creative works by women from the Caribbean proves to be as remarkable as the women themselves. In Caribbean Women and Their Art: An Encyclopedia, Mary Ellen Snodgrass explores the rich history of women’s creative expression by examining the crafts and skill of over 70 female originators in the West Indies, from the familiar islands—Jamaica, Haiti, Cuba, Puerto Rico—to the obscurity of Roatan, Curaçao, Guanaja, and Indian Key. Focusing particularly on artistic style during the arrival of Europeans among the West Indies, the importance of cultural exchange, and the preservation of history, this book captures a wide variety of artistic accomplishment, including Folk music, acting, and dance Herbalism and food writing Sculpture, pottery, and adobe construction Travel writing, translations, and storytelling Individual talents highlighted in this volume include dancer Katherine Dunham, storyteller Louise Bennett-Coverley, paleontologist Sue Hendrickson, dramatist Maryse Condé, herbalist and memoirist Mary Jane Seacole, ballerina and choreographer Alicia Alonso, and athor Elsie Clews Parsons. Each entry includes a comprehensive bibliography of primary and secondary sources, as well as further readings on the female artists and their respective crafts. This text also defines and provides examples of technical terms such as ramada, slip, hematite, patois, and mola. With its informative entries and extensive examinations of artistic talent, Caribbean Women and Their Art: An Encyclopedia is a valuable resource for students, scholars, and anyone interested in learning about some of the most influential and talented women in the arts.

The Black Atlantic Reconsidered is the first comprehensive work to explore Black Canadian literature from its beginnings to the present in the broader context of the Black Atlantic world. Winfried Siemerling traces the evolution of black Canadian witnessing and writing from slave testimony in New France and the 1783 "Book of Negroes" through the work of contemporary black Canadian writers including Austin Clarke, George Elliott Clarke, Dionne Brand, Wayde Compton, and Esi Edugyan. Arguing that Black writing in Canada is deeply imbricated in a historic transnational network, Winfried Siemerling explores the powerful presence of Black Canadian history, slavery, the Underground Railroad, and the Black diaspora in the work of contemporary Black Canadian writers. Individual chapters examine the literature that has emerged from Quebec, Nova Scotia, the Prairies, and British Columbia, with attention to writing in both English and French.

Onesmus Muriuki is a prosperous, hard-working, hard-living man. He lives his life on the edge. Never satisfied with what is legally his, he likes reaching over the fence and grabbing his neighbors’ possessions. Leaving a swathe of adultery, fraud and broken hearts in his wake, Onesmus is on a knife’s edge as his list of enemies grows by the day. The clock is ticking. His doom is about to fall upon him by the hand of one of his victims. Will it be Kevin, the young man whose girlfriend has fallen under Onesmus’s spell? Or could it be James Munene, Onesmus’s business partner, whom he has been shamelessly robbing in broad daylight? The butterfly’s wings have flapped, and the hurricane is gathering strength and momentum. Onesmus’s days are numbered.

Growing up in the Fiji Islands in the late 1960s, Kalyana Mani Seth is an impressionable, plump young girl suited to the meaning of her name: blissful, blessed, the auspicious one. Her mother educates Kalyana about her Indian heritage, vividly telling tales of mischievous Krishna and powerful Mother Kali, and recounting her grandparents' migration to the tiny, British colony. While the island nation celebrates its recently granted independence, new stories of the feminist revolution in America are carried over the waves of the Pacific to Kalyana's ears: stories of women who live with men who are not their husbands, who burn their bras, who are free to do as they please. Strange as all this sounds, Kalyana hopes that she will be blessed with a husband who allows her a similar sense of liberty. But nothing prepares her for the trauma of womanhood and the cultural ramifications of silence and shame, as her mother tells her there are some family stories that should never be told.

A Brain of My Own is about slavery, about brains stolen in childhood and before; brains that have been intruded upon, stopped, shrunk, paralyzed. We know about the history of people whose bodies were enslaved; but we know barely anything about the victims who appear free but whose brains are invisibly chained. Nor do we know about the international collusion, silence, and apathy that surround this kind of slavery.A Brain of My Own describes Wendy Hoffman's final years of attempting escape from the criminal mind control cult into which she had the misfortune of being born. This is her third memoir, and chronicles the final years of reclaiming her brain, including the ongoing abuse and torture during her recovery process. Hoffman describes the ways in which perpetrators manipulate the brain to create amnesiac barriers, methods held secret for generations. She exposes the duplicity of perpetrators functioning as normal people in the ordinary world and what is under their masks. She gives advice about how to spot seemingly helpful people who are actually out to destroy victims of mind control.This kind of dissociation is difficult to overcome, but the path back to full humanity is possible and happening.

Philomena retrace le destin bouleversant d'une mère et de son fils qui, séparés leur vie entière, ont tout fait pour se retrouver. Lorsqu'elle tombe enceinte, en 1951, Philomena Lee n'est qu'une adolescente. Dans l'Irlande d'alors, avoir un enfant hors mariage est un péché. Rejetée par les siens, elle est envoyée au couvent de Roscrea. Pendant trois ans, Philomena travaille à la blanchisserie et ne peut voir son fils Anthony qu'une heure par jour. Une heure de soleil au milieu du labeur quotidien. Mais le 18 décembre 1955, Anthony lui est enlevé et part avec sa famille adoptive – de riches Américains. Philomena a malgré tout voué les cinquante années suivantes de son existence à chercher son fils, se heurtant sans cesse au silence de l'Eglise. Elle ignore que, de son côté, celui-ci a entrepris la même quête. Rebaptisé Michael Hess, le garçon est devenu un avocat réputé avant de travailler au sein du parti républicain sous les administrations Reagan et Bush. Il cache des années durant son homosexualité, puis sa séropositivité, à son entourage. Condamné par la maladie, il décide de partir pour l'Irlande, sur les traces de sa mère. Pour se heurter lui aussi au mutisme des religieuses... Cette histoire a été magnifiquement portée à l'écran par Stephen Frears, avec Judi Dench et Steve Coogan dans les rôles principaux. Traduit de l'anglais par Marion Roman
