About the Book

Lessons from a Revolutionary Caribbean Woman

Revolutionary mother and lover, feminist and social activist, Joan French, now harvests her under-life in a fascinating poetic memoir, Remembering the Rainbow. These poems present a rainbow of past experiences covering her political activism, love and relationships, motherhood, depression, the comfort of the familiar, and discomforting features of the return home to residence in Jamaica in 2007, after residing elsewhere for over 15 years.

Poetry lovers will relish the scope and breadth of these poems, some of which are intensely personal, intended to show that as women activists, we lived and loved, had our lows and highs, and still managed to find hard-won moments for creativity and peace.

This creative biography and storytelling through poetry will inspire you to tell your own story and perhaps spark a revolution.

Joan French has promoted feminist action in the Caribbean since the late 1960s and is a founding member of the Caribbean Association for Feminist Research and Action, which led the struggle for the recognition of Caribbean feminism in the 1980s. She was Chief of Gender for UNICEF from 1998 to 2003, where she led the thrust for inclusion of gender analysis and action in every area of UNICEF programming. Joan has worked as a lecturer in the Department of Modern Languages at the UWI, and at the Institute of Gender and Development Studies (IGDS). She became the first Coordinator of the Caribbean Policy Development Centre, charged with engaging with structures such as CARICOM in order to advance people-centred policies on behalf of regional civil society organisations.
