The cry of a Tahitian woman
Spitz, Chantal T.
The cry of a Tahitian woman - 2002.
78
Chantai SPITZ, a Tahitian woman writer, has been living in Huahine for several years. She published many books on Polynesian culture and identity. The text proposed here points out the problem of writing and the ma’ohi identity. Why should it be written in the colonization language? And, above all, written for who? Reading this text is an enthusiastic, sometimes difficult travelling in order to answer these questions.
