| Summary | Annotation This groundbreakingbook analyzes the theme of community in seven French Caribbean novels in relation to the work of the French philosopher Jean-Luc Nancy. The complex history of the islands means that community is often a central and problematic issue in their literature, underlying a range of other questions such as political agency, individual and collective subjectivity, attitudes towards the past and the future, and even the literary form itself. Celia Britton here studies a range of key books from the region,including Édouard GlissantsLe Quatrième Siècle,Patrick ChamoiseausTexaco, Daniel MaximinsLIle et une nuit,and Vincent PlacolysLeau-de-mort guildive, among others. |
