Abstract
ABSTRACT Migrating to the US is transformative in the short stories in Edwidge Danticat's Krik? Krak! and Chimamanda Adichie's The Thing Around Your Neck. The currents of Blackness, gender and class alter their characters' experiences of the world, shaped by the global flows of migration taking place under neoliberal capitalism. This essay explores the nuanced and conflicting ways diaspora and post-diaspora spaces can facilitate Black feminist resistance in Danticat's ‘Caroline's Wedding' and Adichie's ‘Imitation'. I offer a Black feminist analysis, paying attention to the literary body as the site where tensions are dramatised. My reading of Danticat's and Adichie’s short stories leads to a progressive reconsideration of diaspora.
edwiddge Danticat的短篇小说《克里克?Krak !以及Chimamanda Adichie的《The Thing Around Your Neck》。黑人、性别和阶级的潮流改变了他们的角色对世界的体验，这些体验是由新自由主义资本主义下的全球移民流动所塑造的。本文探讨了散居和后散居空间在丹蒂卡特的《卡罗琳的婚礼》和阿迪奇的《模仿》中促进黑人女权主义抵抗的微妙和相互矛盾的方式。我提供了一种黑人女权主义分析，关注文学主体，将其作为紧张局势戏剧化的场所。我对但丁卡和阿迪契的短篇小说的阅读使我对散居的问题有了一个渐进的反思。
