#201douard Glissant, long recognized in the French and
francophone world as one of the greatest writers and thinkers
of our times, is increasingly attracting attention from Englishspeaking
readers. Born in Martinique in 1928, Glissant earned
a doctorate from the Sorbonne. When he returned to his native
land in the mid-sixties, his writing began to focus on the idea of
a relational poetics, which laid the groundwork for the
cr#233olit#233 movement, fueled by the understanding that
Caribbean culture and identity are the positive products of a
complex and multiple set of local historical circumstances.
Some of the metaphors of local identity Glissant favored--the
hinterland (or lack of it), the maroon (or runaway slave), the
creole language--proved lasting and influential. In Poetics of
Relation, Glissant turns the concrete particulars of Caribbean
reality into a complex, energetic vision of a world in
transformation. He sees the Antilles as enduring suffering
imposed by history, yet as a place whose unique interactions
will one day produce an emerging global consensus. Arguing
that the writer alone can tap the unconscious of a people and
apprehend its multiform culture to provide forms of memory
capable of transcending nonhistory, Glissant defines his
poetics of relation--both aesthetic and political--as a
transformative mode of history, capable of enunciating and
making concrete a French-Caribbean reality with a self-defined
past and future. Glissant's notions of identity as constructed in
relation and not in isolation are germane not only to
discussions of Caribbean creolization but also to our
understanding of U.S. multiculturalism. In Glissant's view, we
come to see that relation in all its senses--telling, listening,
connecting, and the parallel consciousness of self and
surroundings--is the key to transforming mentalities and
reshaping societies.This translation of Glissant's work
preserves the resonating quality of his prose and makes the
richness and ambiguities of his voice accessible to readers in
English. The most important theoretician from the Caribbean
writing today. . . . He is central not only to the burgeoning field
of Caribbean studies, but also to the newly flourishing literary
scene in the French West Indies. --Judith Graves Miller,
University of Wisconsin, Madison#201douard Glissant is
Distinguished Professor of French at City University of New
York, Graduate Center. Betsy Wing's recent translations
include Lucie Aubrac's Outwitting the Gestapo (with Konrad
Bieber), Didier Eribon's Michel Foucault and H#233l#234ne
Cixous's The Book of Promethea.
