Title
Dubbing Chaucer and Beenie Man: Jean 'Binta' Breeze's Re-Presentation of 'Afrasporic' Women's Sexuality

Published
English Studies in Canada 40.04 (2014): 79-106.

Description
Analyzes "womanist dubbing" of male-authored texts, including WBP, that represents Afrasporic women's sexuality. Breeze's "sexually frank" poems, "The Wife of Bath Speaks in Brixton Market," and "Slam Poems," are set in the Caribbean, but share themes of female empowerment similar to those found in WBP and WBT.
