Contested “Places” and Conflicted Nexuses in Gloria Naylor's Linden Hills and Mairuth Sarsfield's No Crystal Stair
|
| Abstract |
The author notes that Gloria Naylor's Linden Hills and Mairuth Sarsfield's No Crystal Stair affirm African Americans' and African Canadians' fortitude at nexuses of resistance and oppression in the United States and Canada through portrayals of characters who refuse to allow their marginalized racial, class, and gender belongings to limit them, and who defiantly enact their ascendant aspirations. Mairuth Sarsfield’s novel No Crystal Stair (1997) is set in Montreal’s oldest Black community – St. Antoine District – in the 1940s. The original Black inhabitants of this district were railroad porters and redcaps who moved there in the nineteenth century.
