Longtemps laissé en sommeil, le concept de sororité a refait surface avec le mouvement #Metoo : être soeurs, c'est être, ensemble, plus fortes. Envisagée comme outil de pouvoir féminin, la sororité nous invite à repenser ce que signifie être une femme aujourd'hui, à questionner les rapports de domination et à imaginer le monde de demain. Sous forme de récits, fictions, textes réflexifs, poèmes et chansons, ce collectif, dirigé par la romancière Chloé Delaume, appelle à une solidarité qui ne nie pas les différences mais embrasse la diversité. Car c’est grâce à la sororité, véritable parole en acte, que la révolution féministe adviendra. Sous la direction de : Chloé Delaume Avec les textes de : Juliette Armanet, Lauren Bastide, Iris Brey, Estelle-Sarah Bulle, Rébecca Chaillon, Jeanne Cherhal, Alice Coffin, Camille Froidevaux-Metterie, Kiyémis, Lola Lafon, Fatima Ouassak, Ovidie, Lydie Salvayre et Maboula Soumahoro

A Novel

Where Dogs Bark with Their Tails

The tales of one family and their larger-than-many-lives sister, Antoine, weaves together the vibrant, epic story of Guadeloupe and its diaspora in Where Dogs Bark with Their Tails. This is Antoine’s life story: an ill-fated romance between her upper-class mother and farmer father; a childhood spent deep in the countryside; the splendors and slums of Guadeloupe’s great city, Pointe-à-Pitre; the eruption of modernity; the rifts in a deeply hierarchical society under colonial rule—and the reasons she left it all behind. And to whom might she tell it? A young woman born on the outskirts of Paris yearns to understand her lineage and métis identity. Her memories of occasional childhood visits are all that connects her to her father’s home. It is at her request that old Aunt Antoine, the eccentric and indomitable matriarch of the Ezechiels, unwinds the unforgettable tale of their family and with it a rich, layered account of Guadeloupe and its diaspora over the course of the twentieth century. Spanning decades as it crosses the Atlantic, with lush language and vivid descriptions, Estelle-Sarah Bulle’s Where Dogs Bark with Their Tails examines the legacies of capitalism and colonialism, what it means to be caught between worlds, how it feels to lose our most beloved, and what stories might help us reconcile past, present, and future.
