Description
Summary:This study of the well-known novel Moi, Tituba sorcière… Noire de Salem(1986) by Maryse Condé will focus on the role of death in the narration. We will see how two different conceptions of death will here be in action: one, where death is nothing but a moment between two lives that still connect; the other, where death is used to enhance the power of white man.
