Caribbean Discourse: Selected Essays by Edouard Glissant
Selected essays from the rich and complex collection of Edouard Glissant, one of the most prominent writers and intellectuals of the Caribbean, examine the psychological, sociological, and philosophical implications of cultural dependency. 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.
ü¾Ž–Œ¼douard Glissant (born 1928) is a Martinican playwright, critic, essayist, and novelist. Betsy Wing's previous translations include Paule Constant's White Spirit, Glissant's The Fourth Century, and Hü¾Ž–”¼lü¾Ž†”¼ne Cixous's The Book of Promethea, all available from the University of Nebraska Press.
