Beyond Caliban's Curses: The Decolonial Feminist Literacy of Sycorax

Abstract

The fear of the unknown, the fear of Sycorax, both because she is female and dark as in both being unknown and dark-skinned is what still holds this piece of land... in thrall to Europe and Prospero. While being articulate in Caliban’s and so Prospero’s tongues, we are still dumb in the language of Sycorax, whatever that might be. We await the Ceremony of the Souls.
