| 520 | |a The Jamaican writer, Olive Senior, has been writing and publishing since the 1980s. Her oeuvre includes poetry and short stories as well as journalism, a sociological study of Caribbean women and a comprehensive encyclopaedia of Jamaican culture. Although Senior now lives in Toronto, her work remains intensely focused on loving portraits of òrdinary' Jamaicans whether they are struggling to make a living off the land in harsh rural contexts or to negotiate the complex postcolonial realities of life in the city. Senior scrutinizes the way power operates at global and local levels and the reader is always made aware of the bigger historical narratives which position (but don't quite ̀fix') the individuals that she writes about. Senior's work is always attentive to detail and to the texture of literary language and she has established a tone of voice which is distinctly understated and wry, insinuating rather than declaiming its truths. In opting for a more cunningly mild-mannered literary voice, Dr deCaires Narain argues that Senior's work provides a nuanced, engaged and gendered alternative definition for ẁriting resistance' than is usually associated with Caribbean writers --Book Jacket. | ||
