She turns her into what she calls \"a sort of female hero, an epic heroine, like the legendary ‘Nanny of the maroons,’\" who, schooled in the sorcery and magical ritual of obeah, is arrested for healing members of the family that owns her.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCARAF Books: Caribbean and African Literature Translated from French\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis book has been supported by a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities, an independent federal agencY.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaryse Condé\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor Emerita of French at Columbia University and author of the internationally celebrated novels\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eSegu\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eand\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Belle Créole\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e(Virginia).
