Mortimer (French, U. of Colorado, Boulder) examines representations of home and ambiguities associated with domestic space, in an exploration of the relationship between the female protagonists and the inner and outer spaces that form her world: domestic, imaginative, and public space. These inner and outer spaces are defined as the division between domestic and public spheres, and as the distinction between the inner world of imagination, spirituality, and memory and the outer visible tangible world structured by reason and logic, interpreted by social discourse. African authors discussed include Mariama Bâ, Calixthe Beyala, Aminata Sow Fall, and Aoua Keita; Caribbean authors include Marie Chauvet, Maryse Condé, Edwidge Danticat, and Simone Schwarz-Bart.
