Larrier breaks new ground in analyzing firstperson narratives by five Francophone Caribbean writersJoseph Zobel, Patrick Chamoiseau, Gisle Pineau, Edwidge Danticat, and Maryse Condthat manifest distinctive interaction among narrators, protagonists, characters, and readers through a layering of voices, languages, time, sources, and identities. Employing the Martinican combat dancedanmyas a trope, the author argues that these narratives can be read as testimony to the legacy of slavery, colonialism, and patriarchy that denied Caribbean people their subjectivity. In chapters devoted to Zobel, Chamoiseau, Pineau, Danticat, and Condwho come from Martinique, Guadeloupe, and HaitiLarrier probes the presence, construction, and strategy of the firstperson narrator, which sometimes shifts within the text itself. Providing a perspective different from European travel literature, these texts deliberately position the I as a witness and/or performer who articulates experiences ignored or misinterpreted by sojourners more widely circulated chronicles. While not purporting to speak for others, the I is concerned with transmitting what he or she saw, heard, experienced, or endured, therefore disrupting conventional representations of the Francophone Caribbean. Moreover, in modeling authenticity and agency, autofiction is also a form of advocacy.
