Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description: Argues that Paule Marshallâs work collectively constitutes a multigenerational saga of the African diaspora across centuries and continents.
From Brown Girl, Brownstones (1959) to The Fisher King (2000), Paule Marshallâs novels, novellas, and short stories include a rich cast of unforgettable men, women, and children who forge spiritual as well as emotional and geographical paths toward their ancestors. In this, the first critical study to address all of Marshallâs fiction, Moira Ferguson argues that Marshallâs work collectively constitutes a multigenerational saga of the African diaspora across centuries and continents. In creating a space for her charactersâ interrupted lives and those of their elders and ancestors, Ferguson argues, Marshall trains a spotlight on slaveryâs wake and engages her fiction in the service of healing deep global wounds.
âIn sophisticated yet accessible discussions, Ferguson places Marshallâs work in a variety of contexts that are at the center of diasporic and postcolonial studies. By producing this comprehensive examination of Marshallâs fiction, she captures the way in which Marshall not only writes about diasporic experiences but, through the interconnected themes of her novels, is crafting a diasporic saga on the subject.â â Sharon M. Harris, author of Dr. Mary Walker: An American Radical, 1832â1919
