Back Jacket
Edouard Glissant's Caribbean Discourse is an unflaggingly ambitious attempt to read the Caribbean and the New World experience, not as a response to fixed, univocal meaning imposed by the past, but as an infinitely varied, dauntingly inexhaustible text.
Author Biography
Edouard Glissant, founder of the Institut Martiniquais d'Etudes and the journal Acoma, was born in 928 in Sainte-Marie, Martinique. His early education was at the Lycée Schoelcher, where he was greatly influenced by the teaching of Aimé Césaire. In 1946 he left for France on a scholarship. From the 1950s to the 1980s his theory of Caribbeanness evolved as a response to negritude and Afrocentrism. His publications include La Lézarde; Soleil de la conscience; Le quatrième siècle; Malemort; Mahagony; Monsieur Toussaint; and La case du commandeur. J. Michael Dash is Reader in the Department of French, University of the West Indies.
