Buch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - At the center of Jamaican-born Michelle Cliff's novels is the exploration of the interplay between memory and history. Noraida Agosto examines Cliff's representation of memory as the part of history that has been suppressed because of its revolutionary potential. Memories of slave rebellions, for instance, were erased through omission from official historical accounts to discourage resistance among slaves. Cliff's novels are an attempt to recover these erased memories, which could generate resistance to modern oppressions. This recovery of devalued memories also entails a validation of non-elite beliefs, languages, and art forms in order to debunk dominant practices.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. "Wedsly Turenne Guerrier embarks on a fascinating journey that explores the contributions of iconic Haitian authors, poets, and artists who have contributed so much to its history, culture and society."Francois Pierre-Louis, Professor of Political Science and Chair, Queens College, City University of New York"This must-read book brings to the forefront aspects of Haitian history, literature and culture that have been neglected for too long. The author paints an authentic, brilliant, and novel portrait of Haiti."Lewis Ampidou Clormeus, Professor of Sociology, State University of Haiti, Associate Research Scholar, Yale UniversityIn spite of its richness and beauty, Haitian literature remains, for the most part, unknown and understudied. It is multilingual, creating further barriers for many readers. Beyond Rebellion and Exoticism: Selected Visions of Haiti 18921994 aims to overcome these barriers, presenting Haitian literature in all its dazzling variety and contrasts, and offering translations of previously untranslated works from French and Haitian Creole into English. The book analyzes works by Haitian writers such as Massillon Coicou, Jacques Roumain, Jean-Claude Martineau, Emmanuel Vedrine and Anne-Christine dAdesky, as well as the Martinican author Aime Cesaire. Published between 1892 and 1994, this distinguished body of work reveals the multiplicity of Haitian identity and interiority. Across various languages, periods and genres, these authors use their voices to resist illegitimate power and dictatorship. By showing the impact of colonization and slavery on Haitian thought, the interference of the international community in Haitis affairs, the dictatorial nature of the Duvalier regimes, and the efforts by Haitian citizens to improve their lives and reject hegemonic influences, author Wedsly Guerrier presents a compelling portrait of Haiti that moves beyond preconceived notions of this complicated, fascinating, and unique country. Studied from a postcolonial perspective, the works in this book help to show the bearing of colonization and slavery on Haitian thought, the interference of the international community in Haitis affairs, the dictatorial aspects of the Duvalier regimes, and the efforts by Haitian citizens to improve their lives and reject hegemonic influences.

Buch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -La littérature francophone est l'un des domaines les plus récents et les plus florissants. Comme telle, elle suscite à la fois un intérêt croissant chez les lecteurs et soulève une problématique sans cesse grandissante pour les chercheurs; en l'occurrence, celle de la libération et ses rapports avec l'écriture et sa réalisation en oeuvre d'art. Ce livre est le fruit d'études et de réflexions de plusieurs chercheurs dans ce domaine, qui, adoptant des approches différentes, analysent des oeuvres d'auteurs représentant diverses régions francophones. Il nous révèle que la libération est intimement liée à l'esthétique et à la dynamique de la créativité artistique, non seulement comme motif ou thématique littéraires mais aussi en tant que motivation, voire inspiration pour l'écrivain. C'est donc une contribution significative aux recherches littéraires francophones, qui entend à la fois élucider le rapport souvent ambigu entre l'écrivain et l'oeuvre et satisfaire la curiosité des lecteurs. 212 pp. Französisch.
