Coming Home to the Self
Feminist Studies, first published in 1972, is the oldest continuing scholarly journal in the field of women's studies published in the U.S. Contents of the journal reflect its commitment to publishing an interdisciplinary body of feminist knowledge, in multiple genres (research, criticism, commentaries, creative work), that views the intersection of gender with racial identity, sexual orientation, economic means, geographical location, and physical ability as the touchstone for its intellectual analysis. Whether drawn from the complex past or the shifting present, the work that appears in Feminist Studies addresses social and political issues that intimately and significantly affect women and men in the United States and around the world.
Evocations of a Caribbean
Evocations of a Caribbean is a historical series of self-portraits. In this work, I move through space and time to become a Caribbean woman infused with various ethnicities, along with alter-egos represented by corresponding deities. In response to the long tradition of mapping the Caribbean, often in response to the female body, I take back this cartography and use my body to map a female Caribbean, in plural and spiritual terms, and to claim a collective history. I am at once a Karib woman, an English lady and the Virgin Mary, a Yoruba princess and Erzulie, Gong and the Boddishatva etc.
