Through Hurston's non-fiction narrative and Brand's fictional narrative, they offer us important stories in which two African-descended men, Kossola and Kamena, bravely inhabit that nexus and willfully forge a space in which they assert and pursue their versions of freedom and fulfillment despite the tragedies and longing that haunt them. In Barracoon and At the Full and Change of the Moon, both authors document how persistent freedom quests and insistence on retaining and passing remembrances serve as forms of resistance to consumption by this liminal space. In both texts, then, Hurston and Brand provide us with important African diasporic narratives about the continuity of survival, resilience, and empowerment in the face of tremendous adversity. Dans Barracoon: The Story of the Last "Black Cargo" (2018) et At the Full and Change of the Moon (1999), Zora Neale Hurston et Dionne Brand, deux éminentes écrivaines de la diaspora africaine, forgent des récits qui sont centrés sur les difficultés enracinées dans les espaces de l'entredeux qu'occupent les personnes noires à la jonction de l'esclavage et de la liberté. Ces récits — non fictionnel pour celui de Hurston et fictionnel pour celui de Brand — offrent deux histoires riches de sens dans lesquelles deux afrodescendants, Kossola et Kamena, habitent avec courage cette jonction et s'emploient avec obstination à créer un espace où ils affirment leur version de la liberté et de l'épanouissement et la poursuivent malgré les tragédies et la nostalgie qui les hantent. Dans Barracoon et At the Full and Change of the Moon, les deux autrices rendent compte du fait que la quête sans fin de la liberté et l'insistance à retenir et à transmettre les souvenirs sont des formes de résistance à la consomption par cet espace liminal. Ces deux textes de Hurston et de Brand nous offrent donc d'importants récits diasporiques africains sur la continuité de l'état de survie, la résilience et le développement du pouvoir d'agir dans le contexte d'une adversité phénoménale. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Literary Criticism src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Canadian Review of American Studies is the property of University of Toronto Press and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
