Pauline Amy de la Bretèque, « Creolization as Cultural and Poetical Rebirth in “Arrival of the Snake-Woman” by Olive Senior », Commonwealth Essays and Studies, ID : 10.4000/ces.10057
This article examines cultural and poetical rebirth in Olive Senior’s short story “Arrival of the Snake-Woman” (1989). It delves into the difficulties caused by the permanent rebirth of identities and cultures in migration and studies the role of the short story in the renewal of oral practices, with a narration in vernacular speech that anchors it deeply in Caribbean oral traditions.
