Maryse Cond is a Guadeloupean writer and critic whose work has challenged the categories of race, language, gender, and geography that inform contemporary literary and critical debates. In Signs of Dissent, the first fulllength study in English on Cond, Dawn Fulton situates this awardwinning authors work in the context of current theories of cultural identity in order to foreground Conds unique contributions to these discussions. Staging a dialogue between Conds novels and the field of postcolonial studies, Fulton argues that Cond enacts a strategy of 'critical incorporations' in her fiction, imitating and transforming many of the prevailing narratives of postcolonial theory so as to explore their theoretical and conceptual limits.By rejecting the facile classification of her work as 'Caribbean,' 'African,' or 'feminist,' Cond has gained a reputation as an iconoclast. But Fulton proposes that behind this public image of provocation lies an incisive reflection on the burdens of representation imposed on the nonWestern writer, and that Conds novels expose the ways in which postcolonial criticism can be complicit in constructing such burdens even as it questions them. Signs of Dissent offers one of the most comprehensive assessments of Conds literary production to date, illuminating its exceptional role in shaping a dialogue between francophone studies and the Englishdominated field of postcolonialism.
