Description

Explore the deep cultural connections between music and identity in the French Antilles with this scholarly work from the SOAS Studies in Music series. Published by Routledge, this book examines the unique social landscape of Marie-Galante, a small Caribbean island located south of Guadeloupe. Through the research of Dr. Ron Emoff, readers gain insight into the lived experiences of the Marie-Galantais people. The text explores the complex history of a population that is largely descended from the slave era, navigating a life as a French departement while maintaining a distinct sense of place. The study looks at the concept of being 'deux fois colonise,' or twice colonized, and how this sentiment relates to their sense of insularity. This book provides an academic look at how music serves as a medium for expressing identity amidst a history of colonization and displacement. It is an essential resource for students and researchers interested in Caribbean folk music, sociology, and the cultural history of the French Antilles.
