A reevaluation of Édouard Glissant that centers on the catastrophe of the Middle Passage and creates deep, original theories of trauma and Caribbeanness. Glissant and the Middle Passage establishes Édouard Glissant’s proper place as a key theorist of ruin, catastrophe, abyss, and memory. Identifying his insistence on memories and histories tied to place as the crucial geography at the heart of his work, this book imparts an innovative new response to the specific historical experiences of the Middle Passage.

Edouard Glissant is an accomplished and influential novelist and poet, and has recently emerged as a major theorist in Caribbean studies and post-colonial literature. In this first full-length study of Glissant's creative and theoretical work J. Michael Dash examines his poems, novels, plays and essays in the context of modern French literary movements and the post-negritude Caribbean situation, providing both a useful introduction to, and a challenging assessment of, Glissant's work to date. Dash shows how Glissant has focused in an unprecedented way on the Caribbean in terms of the diverse and hybrid culture that has been created in the region, and how his ideas on a cross-cultural politics are the shaping force in the francophone Caribbean 'Creolite' movement.

Edouard Glissant, Nadine Gordimer, Abdelkebir Khatibi, Valentin-Yves Mudimbe, Wole Soyinka : ces cinq theoriciens postcoloniaux ont en commun d'avoir renouvele le genre de l'essai et d'en avoir fait un outil d'experimentation litteraire. Revenant a la poetique de l' entreglose qu'avait developpee Montaigne, Florian Alix montre comment l'essai postcolonial entend derouter les categories avant tout litteraires, mais aussi identitaires, nationales, politiques. A la fois intellectuel et ecrivain, l'essayiste entend faire de l'ecriture de soi une forme critique a meme de penser l'universel. L'essai postcolonial est un genre-carrefour, un genre de la transgression, qui traite de la segregation, du Tout-monde et de notre rapport au commun.
