Download or read book Violence in Caribbean Literature written by Véronique Maisier and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2014-12-11 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Violence in Caribbean Literature: Stories of Stones and Blood, this book looks at the scene of the throwing of a stone found in five novels, and uses it as a starting point to an examination of the turmoil of history in the Caribbean, the colonial education imposed on Caribbean populations, the gendered relations that exist today in the Caribbean region, the political status and aspirations of Caribbean nations, and the psychological impact of colonization on Caribbean minds. The trope of the stone and the analysis of the violence it delivers provide the thread that conducts the linked readings of these novels, written by Dominican Jean Rhys, Trinidadian Merle Hodge, Guadeloupean Gisèle Pineau, Martinican Patrick Chamoiseau, and Jamaican-American Michelle Cliff. The analytical and critical readings of these writers’ novels complement each other, and draw out their commonalities, echoes, and differences, while the juxtaposition of Anglophone and Francophone novels from different Caribbean nations contributes to a polyphonic understanding of the region. While the book offers diversity in the range of countries and languages represented, and in the interdisciplinarity of the scholarly fields that intersect in its cultural discussions, it maintains its coherence by the unifying theme of violence and its representations in Caribbean literature.

Download or read book French Guiana written by Janet Crane and published by Oxford, England : Clio Press. This book was released on 1998 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: French Guiana lies on the north coast of South America, with Suriname to the west and Brazil to the south and east. French occupation began in the early seventeenth century. After brief periods of Dutch, English and Portuguese rule, the territory was confirmed as French in 1817. The colony steadily declined, after a short period of prosperity in the 1850s as a result of the discovery of gold. French Guiana, including the notorious Devil's Island, was used as a penal colony until 1937, and the territory became an Overseas Department of France in 1946. This bibliography, containing some 500 entries, brings together, for the first time, the most important French and English publications concerning French Guiana.

Download or read book Aim C saire written by Janis L. Pallister and published by New York : Twayne Publishers ; Toronto : Maxwell Macmillan Canada ; New York : Maxwell Macmillan International. This book was released on 1991 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A pioneer of the negritude movement, the French Caribbean poet, playwright, and essayist Aime Cesaire invested even his most lyrical writing with a call for revolution and change in a prejudiced and flawed world. The narrator of his landmark work, the 1939 epic poem Cahier d'un retour au pays natal, bitterly confronts the squalor and spiritual deprivation of his homeland, Martinique. In this intense, often hermetic poem the cosmopolitan protagonist's search for identity leads him back to his origins and to a revalorization of black pride." "Cesaire's equally engaging plays focus on decolonization, primarily the point at which black progressive leaders face reactionary opposition among the newly autonomous black people. Cesaire's preoccupation with the ideal black man--the "culture hero"--prompted his dramatic retelling of the stories of such tragic figures as the Haitian revolutionary Toussaint Louverture, the Haitian "king" Henri Christophe, and the Congolese leader Patrice Lumumba, all of whom experienced an eminent rise to power and then a sudden fall." "In this first English-language study of Cesaire's poetry collections, plays, and notable essays, Janis L. Pallister looks at the author in the context of the groundbreaking negritude and surrealism movements to which most of his writing adheres. Approaching Cesaire's work chronologically and assuming little or no knowledge of French on the part of the reader, Pallister examines the two dominant themes of Cesaire's work--the need for revolution and the paradoxes of decolonization--and explores Cesaire's struggle to reconcile his art with the demands of a political agenda (he has been mayor of Fort-de-France and a deputy to the French National Assembly)." "Pallister analyzes Cesaire's works as products of a particular human condition--both in a historical context and in that of the twentieth-century social, cultural, and political milieu to which they pertain--and assesses the critical trends that have arisen in connection with this influential poet, journal editor, and politician. For the student seeking a comprehensive introduction to Cesaire or the seasoned scholar in want of a handy reference, this study should prove invaluable."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Download or read book Un writing Empire written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2020-10-12 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The contributors to the present volume, in espousing and extending the programme of such writers as Edward Said, Benedict Anderson, Homi Bhabha, and Gayatri Spivak, lay bare the genealogy of 'writing' empire (thereby, in a sense, 'un-writing' it). One focus is the Caribbean: the retrograde agenda of francophone créolité; the re-writing of empire in the postmodern disengagement of Edouard Glissant; resistance to post-colonial allegiances, and the dissolving of binary categories, in contemporary West Indian writing. Essays on India, Malaysia, and Indonesia explore various aspects of cultural self-understanding in Asia: un-writing high culture through hybrid 'shopping' among Western styles; the use of indigenous oral forms to counter Western hegemony; romantic and anti-romantic attitudes towards empire and the land. A shift to Africa brings a study of Nadine Gordimer's feminist un-writing of Hemingway's masculinist colonising narrative, a searching analysis of Soyinka's restoration of ancient syncretic elements in his West African re-visions of Greek tragedy, changing evaluations of the validity of European civilization in André Gide's representations of Africa, and tensions of linguistic allegiance in Maghreb literature. North America, finally, is brought back into the imperial fold through discussions of Melville's re-writing of travel and captivity narratives to critique the mission of American empire, Leslie Marmon Silko's re-territorialization of expropriated Native American oral traditions, and Timothy Findley's representation of Canada's troubled involvement with its three shaping empires (French, British, American).
