Caribbean Discourse by Edouard Glissant
Selected Essays
An influential set of essays that maps how colonization, slavery, and migration forged the region’s cultures, arguing that identity emerges through creolization rather than fixed origins. It interweaves history, politics, and poetics to champion Creole languages, oral traditions, and archipelagic modes of thought. Rejecting essentialism, it proposes relational ways of knowing that honor discontinuity, multiplicity, and the opacity of cultural difference.
