Focusing specifically on the Grenada Revolution (1979-1983), this presentation investigates how women artists and intellectuals in the Anglophone Caribbean revised an African diasporic tradition of revolution. These literary interventions represent a vexed attempt to disrupt the process by which American foreign policy sought to replace British influence in the Caribbean in the wake of independence struggles.

Dr. Lambert is an Assistant Professor at UC Davis. Her research interests include African Diaspora Studies, Caribbean literature and cultural history, Postcolonial literature and theory, and freedom and slavery studies.
