Overseas department of France in Amazonia and 'ultraperipheral
region' of the EU, Guyane (French Guiana) is at the juncture of
Europe, the Caribbean and South America. This collection of essays
explores historical and conceptual locations of Guyane, as a
relational space characterised by dynamics of interaction and
conflict between the local, the national and the global. Does
Guyane have, or has it had, its own place in the world, or is it a
borderland which can only make sense in relation to elsewhere: to
France and its colonial history, for example, or to African and
other diasporas, or as a 'margin' of Europe? This edited collection
is the first volume to study Guyane from multiple perspectives. It
subjects the enduring cliches and negative stereotypes regarding
Guyane to critical examination, exploring how discourse on this DOM
is, and has been, formed and how it may evolve. Chapters discuss
geographical, literary and cultural 'locations' of Guyane, past and
present, challenging its relegation to the 'periphery', whilst also
historicizing the production of its marginal status. Finally, the
collection aims to outline possible future challenges to the
conceptual location of Guyane and possible directions for continued
research.
