'People say that on the first night Francis Sancher spent in Rivière au Sel the wind in its temper screamed down from the mountains...'

Francis Sancher always said he would come to an unnatural end. So when this handsome newcomer to the Guadeloupean village of Rivière au Sel is found dead, face down in the mud, no one is particularly surprised. Loved by some - especially women - and reviled by others, Francis was an enigmatic figure. Where did he come from? What caused his strange nocturnal wanderings? What devils haunted him? As the villagers come to pay their respects, they each reveal another piece of the mystery behind his life and death - and their own buried secrets and stories come to light.

Caleidoscopische visies, voor het eerst gepubliceerd in maart 2001, was het eerste en enige boek in zijn soort in Nederland. Het stelde de prominente en initiërende rol centraal die zwarte, migranten- en vluchtelingenvrouwen (ZMV-vrouwen) hebben gespeeld in het nieuwe denken over gender en etniciteit in de late twintigste eeuw. De auteurs belichtten de met elkaar verweven uitsluitingspraktijken die ZMV-vrouwen tegenkwamen op meerdere plaatsen in de maatschappij op basis van gender, etniciteit, ‘ras’ of seksualiteit, en toonden daarmee de noodzaak aan voor intersectioneel denken en doen.

Deze hernieuwde uitgave maakt de klassieker die de kijk op het feminisme en de vrouwenbeweging in Nederland heeft veranderd op veler verzoek weer beschikbaar. Ze bevat een geactualiseerde reflectie op de relevantie van intersectionaliteit in het licht van recente maatschappelijke ontwikkelingen, waarmee de activiteiten en het gedachtegoed van ZMV-vrouwen in Nederland nog prominenter op de kaart worden gezet.

Samengesteld door Nancy Jouwe, Maayke Botman & Gloria Wekker

Met bijdragen van Maayke Botman, Sarah Bracke, Esther Captain, Amalia Deekman, Halleh Ghorashi, Mariëtte Hermans, Isabel Hoving, Nancy Jouwe, Troetje Loewenthal, Helma Lutz, Gabbi Mesters, Nawal Mustafa, Ann Phoenix en Gloria Wekker.
