Critical Perspectives on David Chariandy explores the fiction
written by this Caribbean Canadian writer to bring new perspectives
to the existing scholarship on memory, history, trauma, myth,
second-generation issues, cultural inheritance and transmission.
The works presented in this collection about Chariandy's novels
Soucouyant and Brother consider new aspects and bring a fresh gaze
to themes that have previously been explored. Critical Perspectives
on David Chariandy presents second-generation Caribbean Canadian
cultural affiliation to the Caribbean and North America as an
outcome of a self-managed reparatory postcolonial aural
transmission. It brings a new exploration of relationships between
dementia, animality, forgetting, transformation, and identity, as
well as an original analysis of the implications and stakes raised
by Canadian middlebrow reception of Soucouyant in 2007. The new
readings of Chariandy's exploration of the relationship between
history, memory, and myth, included in this collection, disclose
the stakes and scope of the author's use of the myth of the
soucouyant, and of the mythologies of Scarborough and Canada. This
collection also approaches Soucouyant as the literary form of a
process of searching for healing that operates both at personal and
collective levels, demonstrating the author's use of different
types of memories for healing power.
