Edouard Glissant's work has begun to make a significant impact on
francophone studies and some corners of postcolonial theory. His
literary works and criticism are increasingly central to the study
of Caribbean literature and cultural studies. This collection
focuses on the particularly philosophical register of Glissant's
thought. Each of the authors in this collection takes up a
different aspect of Glissant's work and extends it in different
directions. twentieth-century French philosophy (Bergson, Badiou,
Meillassoux), the cannon of Caribbean literature, North American
literature and cultural theory, and contemporary cultural politics
in Glissant's home country of Martinique all receive close,
critical treatment. What emerges from this collection is a vision
of Glissant as a deeply philosophical thinker, whose philosophical
character draws from the deep resources of Caribbean memory and
history. Glissant's central notions of rhizome, chaos, opacity, and
creolization are given a deeper and wider appreciation through
accounts of those resources in detailed conceptual studies.
