Originally published by Paria Publishing Company Limited, 1955., 43 p, Documents Carr’s research and findings, during time spent with the Antoine family, at their Belmont Valley compound. The material Carr collected in the early 1950s remains the most detailed source of information about the beginnings of the Belmont group. Carr interviewed diverse Belmont inhabitants, but most important, he spoke at length with Henry Antoine, the son of Robert, the founder. Henry provided Carr with details about his father's life in Africa prior to his coming to Trinidad and about his establishment as a Rada leader at Belmont.

Notes:
Translation of: Le discours antillais., 272 p., 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.
