The cultural and literary production of women-loving-women reconfigure Caribbean metaphorics. As the title suggests, Omise’eke Natasha Tinsley’s Thiefing Sugar finds in the writings of women from across the Caribbean and across the twentieth century, eroticism between women as an anticolonial and decolonizing practice. Indeed, pitting colonial readings of women-loving Caribbean texts, practices, symbols, and people against her own, Tinsley reveals the anticolonial stances not only of the texts but also of her analysis. Tinsley’s skill in blending high literary, cultural, and historical analyses with a compelling personal voice and a lush, playful literary style make her analysis itself a beautiful read.
