In case we hadn’t made it abundantly clear, we like and love the texts and authors with whom we’ve been in conversation over the years. We believe that what they have to say not only offers insight into Caribbean aliveness but also exceeds regional bounds, venturing into all realms of existence. We’ve been admiring Guadeloupean author Gisèle Pineau’s work for years precisely for these reasons, and this conversation is another dream come true for the Kwazman Vwa collective. Our discussion will focus on Pineau’s latest novel, La vie privée d’oubli (Philippe Rey 2024), which weaves the transatlantic trajectories of women from Guadeloupe, Nigeria, and France to explore generational trauma and the conditions of possibility for individual and collective healing. This conversation will be held in French via zoom, and you can join us by registering below.
