Caribbean Creolization: Reflections on the Cultural Dynamics of Language, Literature, and Identity - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

Brings together prominent writers from the English-, French-, Spanish-, and Dutch-speaking Caribbean in an examination of creolization and its impact on the region's literary production. Contributors are engaged in redefining Caribbean identity and aesthetics, and their reflections on this process trace the evolution of a dynamic regional literature and identity out of materials displaced amid the movement of colonial empires and nationalistic and economic upheavals. They address controversial issues including racism in mestizaje cultures, opposing theories of history and development of Papiamento and Haitian Creole, and the role of Creole languages in the production of consciousness and literature.
