영문 초록

Audre Larde, a black lesbian feminist poet, attempts in her essays and poetry to reexamine the Euro-American stereotypical definitions and perceptions of her race and lesbianism, and to compose a new identity. In her fictional lesbian narrative, Zami: A New Spelling of My Name, she discovers a new vision of lesbians when she visits Carriacou, the island home of her mother, and watches the lives of the lesbians, Zami, who live there without their husbands. She finds that her identity has been constructed out of many connections with other women. The first of these was with her mother, with whom she had an intimate and erotic relation in her childhood. Another connection with Kitty makes her plurality of identities (black, female, lesbian) coalesce into one name. Larde suggests that Kitty was an incarnation of Afrekete, an African goddess in Dahomey, whom she also aspires to become and, through whom, become all the great mothers of West India and Africa.
