Résumé
Shani Mootoo. He Drown She in the Sea. Toronto: McClelland and Stewart, 2005. 350 pp. $29.99 hc; $21.00 sc. In her second novel, He Drown She in the Sea, Shani Mootoo, Indo-Trinidadian-Canadian writer, visual artist, and filmmaker, once again creates a masterful literary work that coheres around the themes of identity politics, belonging and the search for home, sexuality, and desire. As in her acclaimed first novel, Cereus Blooms at Night (1996), in He Drown She Mootoo explores the complications of and class in the relationships of her main characters; and, again, a fictionalized Caribbean island that is a stand-in for Trinidad features prominently in the setting. Bur that is not to say that her latest offering is simply a rehashing of her earlier work. One obvious difference is that the British Columbia setting is as much part of the story line as the Caribbean landscape is in this more recent novel. The experience of the Caribbean community in Canada is an important focus in the novel. (The narrative also addresses the settlement and adaptation experience of Indian indentured labourers of different classes among Afro-Caribbeans in the region.) Also, in a move that was initially difficult for some fans of Cereus to accept, Mootoo opts to focus here on a conventional heterosexual romance, stepping away from her earlier engagement with alternative sexualities and questions of sexual citizenship by including only one lesbian, who plays a small secondary role in the story. The result of both these shifts is a greater emphasis in He Drown She in the Sea on how important a role place and our relationship to landscape play in our sense of who are and where belong, and how our participation in (or exclusion from) community depends less on the supposed fixity of identity markers--such as race and ethnicity--and more on our ability and willingness to negotiate terms of affiliation. At the heart of the story is the relationship between Harry St. George and Rose Sangha, childhood friends on the island of Guanagaspar during World War II, who become lovers in present-day British Columbia. Both are Indo-Caribbeans, but their circumstances at birth created a seemingly unbridgeable divide between them. At one point, the young Harry is cautioned against pursuing his romantic interest in Rose. The gardener, a servant to the Sanghas like Harry's mother, warns: and she different, boy. That is Narine Sangha daughter. You and me is yard-boy material. She is the bossman daughter. Oil and water. Never the two shall mix (138). Although Harry's mother, Dolly, tells him that Ali of cross Black Water ... They not better than we (192-3), the Sanghas no longer feel an affinity with the poorer class of Indo-Caribbeans. Class distinctions matter more than ethnic identification. Ina similar shift in allegiance, Harry's father, Seudath, was adopted by a black fisherman and his wife after he had been abandoned as a child. …
