Maryse Cond  brings Tituba out of historical silence and creates for her a fictional childhood, adolescence, and old age. She turns her into what she calls \"a sort of female hero, an epic heroine, like the legendary 'Nanny of the maroons, '\" who, schooled in the sorcery and magical ritual of obeah, is arrested for healing members of the family that owns her.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCARAF Books: Caribbean and African Literature Translated from French\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book has been supported by a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities, an independent federal agencY.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Maryse Condé\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Virginia Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/05\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 246\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.40w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780813927671\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOriginally from Guadeloupe, Maryse Condé is Professor Emerita of French and Romance Philology at Columbia University.
