Notes:: 261 p, "Énorme, anormal, difforme ou sinueux, le thème baroque se développe au mépris des limites, cadres de l'image, marges de la page, frontières des genres ou des tonalités. N'y aurait-il pas, dès lors, une affinité entre le baroque et la mise en question de la loi? Entre une liberté merveilleuse et l'angoisse du vide, le baroque mène ainsi la folle sarabande de l'écriture et de la musique. L'écrivain n'est-il pas à l'image de ses personnages livre des pouvoirs de l'imaginaire, se livrant à la transgression joyeuse, et cependant inquiet de découvrir une 'loi symbolique', ou une 'loi d'expression', dans le langage d'Édouard Glissant" (Amazon);

Notes:: 68 p, Traditional Caribbean history has been directed by and focused upon the conquerors who came to the region to colonize and seek profitable resources. Native Caribbean peoples and African slaves used to work the land have been silenced by traditional history so that it has become necessary for modern Caribbean thinkers to challenge that history and recreate it. Alejo Carpentier and Michelle Cliff challenge traditional Caribbean history in their texts, The Kingdom of This World and Abeng, respectively. Each of these texts rewrites traditional history to include the perspectives of natives and the slaves of Haiti and Jamaica. Traditional history is challenged by the inclusion of these perspectives, thus providing a rewritten, revised history.
