This is a collection that focuses on perspectives and personal reflections related to growth, love, identity and womanhood. With emphasis upon adapting what Jo Di considers a "Queendom mindset," the themes explored are specifically targeting the importance of the role of women in society as change agents who exhibit their prowess by embracing the acclaimed purpose to positively impact others. By utilizing growth as an opportunity to increase self-consciousness, this poetry collection highlights the understanding of self love and love for others as it applies to the search for identity. Along with personally embracing identity, there is revelation of the situations of others in society. This enables the purpose of womanhood to be fulfilled. To be "Queendom Minded" is to believe in the power of femininity in relation to fulfillment of ambition. Once you receive growth, embrace the true meaning of love, and obtain a pure sense of identity, womanhood is a blissful experience geared towards purposefulness.

As Contradictory Indianness endeavors to show, a postcolonial Caribbean aesthetics that has from its inception privileged inclusivity, interraciality, and resistance against Old World colonial orders requires taking into account Indo-Caribbean writers and their reimagining of Indianness in the region. This book's unique contribution lies in an explicit privileging of Indo-Caribbean fiction as a creolizing literary imaginary to broaden its study beyond a narrow canon that has, inadvertently or not, enabled monolithic and unidimensional perceptions of Indian cultural identity and evolution in the Caribbean.
