This collection of short stories explores how ordinary individuals in extraordinary situations negotiate issues of race, gender, sexuality, and longing for home. Set in New York, the Caribbean, and South Africa, they reflect the history and culture of Caribbean immigrants and their children. These stories are meant to entertain and shed light on routinely unexplored areas of human experience: those of women, girls, homosexuals, immigrants, and working class people. The title, This Man Country, refers to how Caribbean people in my grandparents' generation thought of America as "this man country," a place where they would stay temporarily to connect with their children, make money, escape from their lives at home, among other reasons. 2014-10-11T12:10:03Z 2014-10-11T12:10:03Z 2005 Master Thesis Masters MA http://hdl.handle.net/11427/8368 eng application/pdf Department of English Language and Literature Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town |
