For nearly four decades, Maryse Conde, best known for her novels
Segu and Windward Heights, has been at the forefront of French
Caribbean literature. In this collection of essays and lectures,
written over many years and in response to the challenges posed by
a changing world, she reflects on the ideas and histories that have
moved her. From the use of French as her literary language--despite
its colonial history--to the agonies of the Middle Passage, at the
horrors of African dictatorship, and the politically induced
poverty of the Caribbean to migration under globalization, Conde
casts her unflinching eye over the world which is her inheritance,
her burden, and her future. Even while paying homage to her
intellectual and literary influences--including Frantz Fanon,
Leopold Sedar Senghor, and Aime Cesaire--Conde establishes in these
pages the singularity of her vision and the reason for the enormous
admiration that her writing has garnered from readers and critics
alike.
