ralowe's review against another edition
4.0
quite a task, trying to conduct a sociological study of afro-surinamese women's communities of care and erotics. there's a problem i'm always trying to push to either the left or the right of writing for what you're writing against. rejecting the west as hegemonic ideology while reproducing the west in its objects of study. gloria wekker places herself inside what she's writing about, literally, establishing relationships with the people she's studying and writing it all down and things should be better, right? i'm wondering how she feels about the style of the ideas presented here now. i'm talking like i know what i would like stylistically, and i don't know-- that's the problem. i would love to probably debate her embrace of the subject while rejecting identity. but i see that spivak isn't in the bibliography. also i haven't read spivak. yet. i mean, i read "literature" in *a critique of postcolonial reason.* i can't remember if i read her intro to *of grammatology.* but enough about me. i do want to know more about the vernacular "i" of winti religious belief because i'm curious how it relates to edouard glissant's consensual nonsingular being. there's a lot of information about creole culture but perhaps the writing itself has not ingested creolization? (p.s.: i hate the term same-sex sexuality.)
