Ourika
''Ourika'' is an 1823 novel by Claire de Duras, originally published anonymously.
==Overview==
''Ourika'' is a story based on the life of a woman who was purchased as a child (in or around 1786) by the Chevalier de Boufflers, the colonial administrator of Senegal, and given as a gift to the de Beauvau family. The most well-known of these is Claire de Duras's 1823 novel of the same name.
The novel marks a critical point in European literature. It is the first French text to depict a black woman character with a complex psychology.〔Pratima Prasad, Colonialism, Race and the French Romantic Imagination, 102.〕 It is the first text to create "an articulate and educated black woman narrator," 〔Kadish, Doris Y., Ourika’s Three Versions: A Comparison, Translating Slavery: Gender and Race in French Women’s Writing, 1783-1823, Éd. Françoise Massardier-Kenney, Préf. Albrecht Neubert, Gregory M. Shreve, Kent, Kent State UP, 1994〕 and "one of the most compelling works of short fiction in French and a startlingly modern commentary on race."〔Christopher Miller, The French Atlantic〕
The novella covers the time before, during, and after the French Revolution and addresses key themes of race, nationality, exile, interracial love and kinship and the psychological adjustment to these. It signifies an important movement from traditional notions of race, nationality, and kinship towards the identity politics of today.
