Notes:
"This thesis offers a discussion of spiralisme and of its contribution to the domain of Francophone Caribbean letters during the latter half of the twentieth century. In a literary universe dominated by "big voices" from the French overseas department of Martinique, the Haiti-born spiralisme has long remained ignored in, underappreciated by, and excluded from discussion among Francophonists. My project sets out to rectify this situation, not only by offering a thorough presentation of the spiralist novel in and of itself, but also, and perhaps more importantly, by integrating spiralisme into a larger post-colonial Caribbean context."
