Antonia Wimbush is Lecturer in French Studies in the School of Languages and Linguistics at the University of Melbourne. From 2020 to 2023 she was a Leverhulme Early Career Fellow in the Department of Languages, Cultures and Film at the University of Liverpool. Her previous publications include Autofiction: A Female Francophone Aesthetic of Exile (2021) and Queer(y)ing Bodily Norms in Francophone Culture (2021), co-edited with Polly Galis and Maria Tomlinson. Her research interests include French Caribbean literature, literary representations of exile and migration, memory studies, and gender studies.
Drawing on fieldwork, extensive archival research and analysis of a rich corpus of literature, music and film, Antonia Wimbush tells a story of migration from the Caribbean to Europe that has been largely silenced in France itself. Recovering occluded narratives and reflecting on their contemporary afterlives, this account of BUMIDOM as a postcolonial lieu de mémoire constitutes a highly significant intervention. The result is essential reading for all serious scholars and students of the French Caribbean, of post-war France – and of the histories of migration more broadly.
