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.

Notes:
404 p., France experienced a period of crisis following World War I when the relationship between the nation and its colonies became a subject of public debate. The author focuses on two intersecting movements that redefined imperial politics— colonial humanism led by administrative reformers in West Africa and the Paris-based Negritude project, comprising African and Caribbean elites.
