From Matrophobia to Motherline (English)
By Isabel Z. Brown
Published in Caribe: Magazine of culture and literature Summer 2006, Volume 9, Number 1, Page 109

Excerpt:
In the novel parallel narratives are developed in a study of two sets of women's lives under the rule of a brutal dictator of an unnamed Caribbean country. The topics that are dealt with in Of Forgotten Times include racial issues, class struggle, and political activism. The novel, an historical fiction, contains allusions to historical facts that are familiar to those acquainted with colonial and post-colonial history in the Caribbean, and most specifically to the Dominican Republic, the author's homeland.

In this paper, which is divided into two halves, I focus on yet another topic developed in Of Forgotten Times: the intricacies of the mother/daughter bond. This particular subject posits itself as central to the resolution of the conflicts presented in the plot of the novel. The first half of this paper contains a selective grouping of critical analyses on the subjects of the motherline and matrophobia. The second half of the paper details the pertinence of Of Forgotten Times as read through the understanding of both the motherline and matrophobia concepts. Although present in the earlier stages of feminist theoretical thinking, as I will recall here, the interest in mother/daughter relationships has been gradually supplanted by interest in the self-affirmation of the individual female vis à vis numerous cultural settings.
