Increasingly, creolization is used to analyse cultural
complexity, 'cosmopolitanism, hybridity, syncretism and mixture,
prominent and growing characteristics of the global age. The
Creolization Reader captures all these meanings. Attention to the
creolizing world has enormous potential as a suggestive way of
describing our complex world and the diverse societies in which we
all now live. The Creolization Reader illuminates old creole
societies and emerging cultures and identities in many parts of the
world. Areas covered include Latin America, the Indian Ocean, the
Caribbean, West, South and East Africa, the Pacific and the USA.
Our authors provide an authoritative review, conspectus and
critique of many aspects of creolization. This book is divided into
five main sections covering the following key topics:
concepts and Theories
the Creolized World
popular Culture
kindred Concepts
the Creolizing World
Each section begins with a brief introduction summarizing the
key arguments of the contributors, while the editors provide a
provocative and comprehensive introduction to the debates provoked
by creolization theory. The Creolization Reader is
multi-disciplinary and includes 28 readings and original
contributions drawn mainly from history, sociology, development
studies, anthropology and cultural studies.
