| مستخلص: | This article discusses the themes of queer love, friendship, and Indo-Caribbean womanhood in Shani Mootoo's novels "Polar Vortex," "Valmiki's Daughter," and "Cereus Blooms at Night." It explores how Caribbean queer identities are influenced by historical contexts such as slavery, indenture, and postcolonial nation formation. The article also examines the portrayal of Indo-Caribbean, same-sex-loving women in Mootoo's works and how they challenge heteropatriarchal norms. It highlights the ways in which gender and sexuality in Caribbean contexts are shaped by histories of indenture, colonialism, race relations, and class aspirations. The novels depict the marginalization of Caribbean queer identities within supposedly progressive societies and explore the complexities of diasporic experiences. [Extracted from the article] |
