Resumo: The old (slavery, indentured workers) and new (refugees, comfort women, immigrants seeking jobs) diasporas are analyzed within the context of Caribbean literature. Kittitian Caryl Phillips's novels Crossing the River and A Distant Shore, published respectively in 1993 and 2003, deal with both types of diaspora. While the former investigates the outcome of a Christian U.S. slave repatriated to Liberia and the vicissitudes of a Negro woman on her journey west towards freedom, the latter novel develops the diaspora problems of a modem African who flees his country because of civil war and goes to England to work. Results show that in a transnational economy people of the old diaspora are more liable to find freedom and subjectivity than those of the new diaspora. In the modem diaspora unrelieved frustration and loneliness are certain.---Original in English.

Os romances Crossing the River e A Distant Shore, de Caryl Phillips, publicados respectivamente em 1993 e 2003, tratam dos dois tipos de diáspora. Enquanto a primeira analisa as diferentes trajetórias de um ex-escravo estadunidense repatriado a Libéria e de uma mulher negra em sua viagem ao oeste dos Estados Unidos, rumo à liberdade, a segunda discursa sobre os problemas diaspóricos de um Africano contemporâneo que foge de seu país para afastar-se da guerra civil e para achar emprego num país democrático. Os resultados da pesquisa mostram que numa economia transnacional as pessoas da antiga diáspora tendem a encontrar a liberdade e a subjetividade mais do que aquelas envolvidas na diáspora moderna. Nesse último caso a frustração e a solidão são factíveis.---Artigo em inglêsUniversidade Federal Fluminense2005-12-19info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionAvaliado pelos paresapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.uff.br/gragoata/article/view/33319Gragoatá; Vol. 9 No. 17 (2004): Boundaries and displacementsGragoatá; v. 9 n. 17 (2004): Fronteiras e deslocamentos2358-41141413-9073reponame:Gragoatáinstname:Universidade Federal Fluminense (UFF)instacron:UFFporhttps://periodicos.uff.br/gragoata/article/view/33319/19306Copyright (c) 2019 Gragoatáinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessBonnici, Thomas2020-08-18T23:23:29Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/33319Revistahttps://periodicos.uff.br/gragoataPUBhttps://periodicos.uff.br/gragoata/oai||revistagragoata@gmail.com2358-41141413-9073opendoar:2020-08-18T23:23:29Gragoatá - Universidade Federal Fluminense (UFF)false
