Description

This book analyses French Caribbean writing from the point of view of its language and literary form - questions which until recently were somewhat neglected in postcolonial studies but are now becoming an important area of research. Britton supplements postcolonial theory with structuralism and poststructuralism to show how analysis of the textual illuminates the political and ideological positions of the writers. Topics including genre, intertextuality, narrative voice, discursive agency, orality, the 'creolization' of languages and the renewal of realism are discussed in relation to Glissant, Cesaire, Menil, Chamoiseau, Confiant, Depestre, Conde, Schwarz-Bart, Pineau and Maximin. Review Britton makes an unanswerable case for a rebalancing of textually-based and world-based reading, a rebalancing of critical attention to language and form on the one hand, representation and political positioning on the other. --Professor Mary Gallagher About the Author Celia Britton is Professor Emerita of French at University College London. Her previous books include The Sense of Community in French Caribbean Fiction (LUP, 2010) and the co-edited American Creoles (LUP, 2012).
