La Caraïbe, région fondatrice du regard européen sur le Nouveau Monde, a été pendant plusieurs siècles l'un des lieux d'expérimentation de l'esclavagisme moderne en tant que point d'aboutissement de la traite atlantique. Espace insulaire à l'hétérogénéité sans cesse remaniée, aussi bien au plan des mélanges et métissages de populations autochtones ou "importées" (esclaves noirs d'Afrique évidemment mais aussi des travailleurs asiatiques sous contrat ultérieurement) qu'à celui des éléments économiques, sociaux, culturels, religieux et linguistiques des sociétés, la Caraïbe reste encore largement méconnues des lecteurs français en sciences sociales et historiques. La présence de trois sur quatre des départements d'outre-mer (Guyane, Guadeloupe et Martinique) dans cette partie du monde n'a malheureusement, et paradoxalement, que peu contribué à améliorer cette connaissance. Un ouvrage dirigé par Mamadou Diouf et Ulbe Bosma.

Caribbean Ghostwriting addresses a question central to the fields of postcolonial, feminist, and African diasporic studies:how are we to know the colonial past when the lives of colonized and enslaved people were largely written out of history? Caribbean authors Michelle Cliff, Maryse Conde, and Dionne Brand address the silences and gaps of historiography by fleshing out overlooked historical figures in literary form. These authors do not simply reconstruct lost lives, but rather they foreground the tension between the real, material traces of peoples lives and the fact of their erasure. In novels that are at once historical, biographical, and artistic, they portray real but sparsely documented and therefore haunting histories through a strategy identifiable as ghostwriting. Erica L. Johnson defines ghostwriting as an important genre of Caribbean literature through which authors literally ghostwrite stories for lost historical figures even while they poetically preserve the unspeakable nature of the archival lacunae their novels engage.

Paula Burnett offers a new interpretation of the life's work of acclaimed St. Lucian poet, playwright, and Nobel Prize winner Derek Walcott. Often regarded as the radical voice of the Third World, his drama and poetry together form a coherent project designed to create a legacy for modern Caribbean society. Illuminating his ideology and the technique that informs his writing, Burnett discusses his unique approach to myth, identity, and aesthetics
