Daughters of the Dust (Julie Dash, 1991), le récit d’esclave revisité by Delphine Letort

“…Whilst allowing women to address their most intimate dilemmas (rape, skin colour, pregnancy, sexuality, gender roles), the director tries to undermine Hollywood stereotypes of black women. Not only does she look back into the past as a source of inspiration and creation, but she also generates a longing for an idealized tribal life that never was but in the imaginary construct of afrocentrist theorists.…”

“Never break them in two. Never put one over the other. Eve is Mary’s mother. Mary is the daughter of Eve”: Toni Morrison’s Womanist Gospel of Self by Claude LE FUSTEC

“…From Pecola, the alienated victim of the WASP definition of beauty to Consolata, the “revised Reverend Mother,” Morrison’s fiction appears to weave its way through the moral complexities of African American female resistance to white male rule—theologically based on the canonical reading of the Fall as supreme calamity caused by Eve, the arch-temptress and sinner—to hand authority back to the pariah and wrongdoer: the black woman. …”

Weaving Lao Silk Into Indigo Nights by Melody Kemp

“…Casting a quick mantra to the spirits of nature, she swallowed a glass of lao lao to start the evening.Leaning mindfully over her loom, Miss Phaeng raked her nails across the piano strings of silk warp, plucking each to test its tension. A black sheet of pin-straight hair fell over her face, hiding the claret birthmark shaped just like a spider, that crept over her right cheek, one leg disappearing into the fine hairs of her temple.The coarse ivory silk recently spooled from the cocoons gathered in her garden pushed back against her hand.She felt the fizz of anticipation low in her belly as she gathered all the many shuttles holding the weft silk and dumped them into an old blackened basket. …”
