- W2467975632 abstract "In Dionne Brand’s writing the effort of the ‘not forgetting’, the necessity of a confrontation between past and present, demands to be examined in the light of her particular experience. As Francesco Loriggio has said of Brand’s writing, ‘It designates subtypes, the degree of distance towards the cultural past and the cultural present, of insidership or of outsidership one can or one does assume’.2 As a Trinidadian Canadian black lesbian feminist, Dionne Brand folds her particular ethnic experience into a political consciousness. Writing itself determines the agenda of her commitment, marks out the possibilities of revision, does the ‘unforgetting’. Both her poetry and her prose actively seek to problematize those perceptions of race, gender and sexuality which continually reject the Other to the margins in order to reproduce a white, heterosexual, phallic ‘centre’. The ways in which her writing investigates such cultural spaces will be the object of this essay. For if writing for Brand is centred on the release from oppression, structuring, as Carol Morrell states, a ‘subject-position as a tool for political intervention’,3 the two-way pull of where one is (on the margins) and the signifying, recuperatory potential of that space, produces complex relations to language. Strong referentiality focuses Brand’s political ethos in the redefinition, repositioning and dismantling of hierarchies. As Claire Harris, another Trinidadian Canadian black writer, says of her own political commitment: I write to displace the notion that the South and its people are not integral to modern Western civilization…. The reaction of Europe, both in the Americas and at home, was to set its heart/its body/its head to scramble at the margins of backyard sinks, while its mind entertained in the drawing room.4 KeywordsBlack WomanReferential StatusSanitary NapkinFuture IndicativeModern Western CivilizationThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
