Ebook: Creole Identity in the French Caribbean Novel

Adlai Murdoch offers a detailed rereading of five major contemporary French Caribbean writers--Glissant, Cond?, Maximin, Dracius-Pinalie, and Chamoiseau. Emphasizing the role of narrative in fashioning the cultural and political doubleness of Caribbean Creole identity, Murdoch shows how these authors actively rewrite their own colonially driven history.
