From Sugar to Revolution: Women’s Visions of Haiti, Cuba, and the Dominican Republic

From Sugar to Revolution: Women’s Visions of Haiti, Cuba, and the Dominican Republic is a groundbreaking book that sheds light on the historical role of women artists in these three nations.

Myriam Chancy's premise is that these writers and visual artists seek to defy fears of "otherness" by assuming the role of "archaeologists of amnesia," uncovering the variegated lives of women within the confining walls of their national identifications.

Through a detailed analysis of their works, Chancy reveals how these women challenge traditional notions of gender, race, sexuality, and class, offering new perspectives on social and political realities in the Caribbean.

This book is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the complex history and culture of this region, and the important role that women have played in shaping its identity.
