title = "History and Herstory: Photography in Gis{\`e}le Pineau{\textquoteright}s Ady, soleil noir",
abstract = "This chapter examines Gis{\`e}le Pineau{\textquoteright}s combined use of photography and fictional text in Ady, soleil noir (2021) to imaginatively portray the subjectivity of an overlooked historical figure: Adrienne Fidelin, a Guadeloupean dancer and muse of American photographer Man Ray from 1936 to the outbreak of the Second World War. We argue that through Pineau{\textquoteright}s creative approach to the inclusions and omissions of the historical archive, as well as her blending of archival photographs and fictional text, she does more than rewrite history: Pineau foregrounds a specifically female subjectivity and the perspective of a racialized woman hailing from one of France{\textquoteright}s former colonies and thus also writes herstory.",
