Abstract

Maryse Condé delves into La Migration des coeurs in the island of Guadalupe during the colonial period in the latter part of the xIx century. Portraying two rival families, the Gagneur and the Linsseuil, after the abolition of slavery their differences are made vivid through her writing. The tragic passion of Razyé for Cathy Gagneur and the fatality of her descendants are envisaged as a pretext in order to tackle the matter of death and beyond and to penetrate into the popular believes of the supernatural world of Antillano: cult of spirits, initiation rite of passage and communication from beyond. Maryse Condé unveils a complex narrative trauma embellished with multiplicity of space and of narrative utterances that provide the other view on the existence of characters eradicated in the physical space and in their innerselves.
