Description

Caribbean Critique seeks to define and analyze the distinctive contribution of francophone Caribbean thinkers to perimetric Critical Theory. The book argues that their singular project has been to forge a brand of critique that, while borrowing from North Atlantic predecessors such as Rousseau, Hegel, Marx, and Sartre, was from the start indelibly marked by the Middle Passage, slavery, and colonialism. Chapters and sections address figures such as Toussaint Louverture, Baron de Vastey, Victor Schoelcher, Aimé Césaire, René Ménil, Frantz Fanon, Maryse Condé, and Edouard Glissant, while an extensive theoretical introduction defines the essential parameters of 'Caribbean Critique.' Review This is a very important and exciting book. Extending to the whole of the French Caribbean his previous work on the philosophical bases of the Haitian Revolution, Nesbitt has produced the first ever account of the region's writing from a consistently philosophical, as distinct from literary or historical, standpoint. --Professor Celia Britton, Professor Celia Britton, University College London The first ever account of the Caribbean's writing from a philosophical standpoint. Essential reading for researchers and graduate students of contemporary French philosophy, especially the currently flourishing revival of neo-Marxist thought around Badiou, Ranciere and Zizek. For specialists in postcolonial theory the book offers a challenging reconceptualization of their field, while for specialists in French Caribbean writing, it provides a new perspective on already well-known authors. --fishpond.com About the Author Nick Nesbitt is Professor of French and Italian at Princeton University. His books include 'Voicing Memory: History and Subjectivity in French Caribbean Literature' (University of Virginia Press, 2003) and 'Universal Emancipation: The Haitian Revolution and the Radical Enlightenment' (University of Virginia Press, 2008).
