Empty treasure chests dumped from departed ships is a quotation
taken from David Dabydeen's poem The Old Map in which the hope of a
new world is green but green symbolizes also the gangrene of the
sailors. Such rather unsavory paradoxes can be found in the works
of contemporary (post)postcolonial writers, who engage in a
dialogue with literary history while actively re-shaping
contemporary culture. Far from seeking easy reconciliations, the
contemporary (post)postcolonial writers rewrite the colonial
experiences in relation to art and literary works. The theme of
this volume are the works by and about David Dabydeen, a Guianese
British writer, poet and literary scholar, whose efforts have
always been directed toward re-creating the lives forever lost;
those of nameless slaves and coolies of the West Indies. His
inspiration, in turn were, among others, the paintings of William
Hogarth and Joseph Mallord William Turner. Accordingly, the papers
collected in this book address the question of (post)colonialism in
a contemporary (post)postcolonial reality.
