"The Imaginary is everywhere in representations of the Caribbean Islands and their people and has been ever since their "discoverers" dreamt themselves arriving, triumphant, in the Indies. This book poses a provocative question: When the Imaginary occupies the place of the Real, as in Caribbean culture and European projections of that culture, how does the Real position itself? Michele Praeger seeks an answer by bringing the Caribbean discourses of French traditional criticism and American social sciences, particularly history and psychoanalysis, into conversation with the imaginings of the Caribbean - in the form of fiction by Edouard Glissant, Patrick Chamoiseau, Raphael Confiant, Maryse Conde, Michele Lacrosil, and Suzanne Cesaire." "Through analysis of historical and psychoanalytic work on the Caribbean, Praeger reveals both the biases of these disciplines, and the possibilities they hold when brought into dialogue with one another and with literature. She shows how Caribbean writers respond to these discourses in their re-creation of the daily experience, history or non-history, and gender differences of their culture. She highlights in particular the aesthetics and ethics of these Caribbean writers."--Jacket.

Dans la riche littérature antillaise d'expression française, il est un personnage qui revient de manière récurrente depuis une vingtaine d'années, c'est celui de l'écrivain. Lydie Moudileno analyse ses représentations dans la production romanesque de la Martinique et de la Guadeloupe depuis les années 80. En examinant les diverses mises en scène de ce personnage, à la fois marginal et familier, elle s'interroge sur la condition du sujet-écrivant aux Antilles, ses fantasmes, ses limites, ses paradoxes, et sur le rapport qu'il entretient avec ses prédécesseurs, qui vont du contenu traditionnel aux chantres de la négritude. Chacun à sa façon, les écrivains qui figurent dans les romans de Raphaël Confiant, Patrick Chamoiseau, Edouard Glissant, Maryse Condé et Daniel Maximni, repensent leur rapport à la langue, à l'Histoire et à la communauté culturelle à laquelle ils appartiennent, faisant du texte de fiction un lieu privilégié où s'élaborent de nouvelles théories pour la génération de l' "après-négritude". Lydie Moudileno est professeur à l'Université de Pennsylvanie, à Philadelphie, où elle enseigne la littérature française et francophone.
