摘要

摘要:20世纪30年代，詹姆斯(c.l.r. James)和里斯(Jean Rhys)描写了伦敦的寄宿屋——挑战帝国主义理想化的私人住宅和白人核心家庭的空间。两位作家还戏剧化地描绘了想象加勒比海未来的困难，那里没有过去殖民时期的等级制度，也没有周围的帝国主义逻辑。詹姆斯为《西班牙港公报》(Port of Spain Gazette)撰写的随笔和里斯的小说《黑暗航行》(Voyage in the Dark)将伦敦的寄宿公寓与加勒比海的地理联系在一起，产生了一种反殖民主义的想象，这种想象抵制了对后殖民加勒比海的规范愿景，相反，暗示读者参与到另一种未来的创造中。

Rooms Not One's Own: C. L. R. James, Jean Rhys, and Caribbean Anticolonialism in 1930s London

Abstract:In the 1930s, C. L. R. James and Jean Rhys wrote of London lodging houses—spaces that challenged imperialist narratives idealizing the private home and white nuclear family. Both writers also dramatized the difficulty of imagining Caribbean futures that dispense with the hierarchies of the colonial past and the imperialist logics of their surroundings. Enjambing the London lodging house with Caribbean geographies, James's essays for The Port of Spain Gazette and Rhys's novel Voyage in the Dark generate an anticolonial imagination that resists prescriptive visions of a postcolonial Caribbean and, instead, implicate readers in the making of an alternate future.
