Description

This academic study by Dr Ron Emoff examines the rich musical traditions of Marie-Galante, a small Caribbean island south of Guadeloupe that forms part of France's overseas departments. The book explores how music functions as a vehicle for identity expression among Marie-Galantais, whose cultural heritage is shaped by the island's complex colonial history and the descendants of the slave era who form the majority population. Emoff investigates the pervasive sense of being 'deux fois colonise' (twice colonized) and how this experience of displacement influences musical performance and cultural identity on the island. Published by Routledge as part of the SOAS Studies in Music series, this work provides scholarly insight into Caribbean folk music traditions and the ways communities use musical expression to negotiate their place within both local and global contexts. The book addresses themes of insularity, cultural resilience, and the relationship between historical trauma and contemporary identity formation through musical practice.
