"Donette Francis's important and rigorous work Fictions of Feminine Citizenship: Sexuality and the Nation in Contemporary Caribbean Literature presents a wide-ranging descriptor of contemporary women's Caribbean writing while offering a critical engagement with the sociohistorical colonial and postcolonial contexts that these writers negotiate and critique." - SX Salon
'Even for those of us who already teach her work on the manipulation of folktales and other 'authentic' narratives by corrupt political regimes in the work of Danticat and other writers, Francis' new book on intimacy, citizenship, and what she terms 'the antiromance' will be a stunning must-read not least of all in its commitment both to analyzing writers across some traditional divisions, and to careful historical contextualization. This is solid, brilliant work.' Faith Smith, Associate Professor, Brandeis University
