Sur la route de la trace avec Aimé Césaire
Serge Letchimy a longtemps écouté Aimé Césaire. Il l'a écouté jusqu'au bout, renouvelant et remodelant sa pensée, s'interrogeant sans cesse sur la route à suivre, sur l'engagement. C'est à travers un carnet de bord, un journal intime et politique que Serge Letchimy restitue ses réflexions et ce qui a bouleversé sa perception du monde.
Rapport d'information sur les conséquences du changement climatique dans les outre-mer
Ce rapport explique pourquoi il est essentiel d’accorder une importance primordiale aux outre-mer dans la négociation de la COP 21. Il montre d’abord comment et pourquoi les outre-mer, insulaires et vulnérables, sont particulièrement exposés au réchauffement climatique dû aux gaz à effet de serre et à ses conséquences, notamment à la hausse du niveau de la mer. Ils n’en sont pas responsables, mais ils vont être affectés par de multiples phénomènes, dont le rapport donne une description. C’est aussi bien la vie quotidienne des habitants des outre-mer que les activités économiques et touristiques qui vont être profondément perturbées. Dans la suite des actions déjà...
Rapport d'information sur le projet de loi relatif à la transition énergétique pour la croissance verte
Le projet de loi relatif à la transition énergétique pour la croissance verte (n° 2188) concerne tout particulièrement les Outre-mer. Les collectivités d’outre-mer, en effet, si elles sont originairement dépourvues de sources d’énergie fossile, sont, au contraire, particulièrement bien pourvues en sources d’énergie renouvelable (la mer, le vent, le soleil, la géothermie…). Grâce à la transition énergétique, elles pourraient donc passer d’une situation d’extrême dépendance à une situation d’extrême indépendance – ce qui est un enjeu particulièrement motivant. Parmi les propositions avancées par la Délégation aux outre-mer, on peut citer les suivantes : ...
For the Muslims
At the beginning of the twenty-first century, leading intellectuals are claiming "There is a problem with Islam in France," thus legitimising the discourse of the racist National Front. Such claims have been strengthened by the backlash since the terrorist attacks in Paris in January and November 2015, coming to represent a new 'common sense' in the political landscape, and we have seen a similar logic play out in the United States and Europe. Edwy Plenel, former editorial director of Le Monde, essayist and founder of the investigative journalism website Mediapart tackles these claims head-on, taking the side of his compatriots of Muslim origin, culture or belief, against those who make them into scapegoats. He demonstrates how a form of "Republican and secularist fundamentalism" has become a mask to hide a new form of virulent Islamophobia. At stake for Plenel is not just solidarity but fidelity to the memory and heritage of emancipatory struggles and he writes in defence of the Muslims, just as Zola wrote in defence of the Jews and Sartre wrote in defence of the blacks. For if we are to be for the oppressed then we must be for the Muslims.
The Caribbean Novel Since 1945
The Caribbean Novel Since 1945 offers a comparative analysis of fiction from across the pan-Caribbean, exploring the relationship between literary form, cultural practice, and the nation-state. Engaging with the historical and political impact of capitalist imperialism, decolonization, class struggle, ethnic conflict, and gender relations, it considers the ways in which Caribbean authors have sought to rethink and re-narrate the traumatic past and often problematic 'postcolonial' present of the region's peoples. It pays particular attention to the role cultural practices such as stickfighting and Carnival, as well as religious rituals and beliefs like Vodou and Myal, have played in efforts t...
Caribbean Interfaces
Contemporary research on Caribbean literature displays a rich variety of themes, literary and cultural categories, forms, genres, languages. Still, the concept of a unified Caribbean literary space remains questionable, depending upon whether one strictly limits it to the islands, enlarges it to adopt a Latin-American perspective, or even grants it inter-American dimensions. This book is an ambitious tentative to bring together specialists from various disciplines: neither just French, Spanish, English, or Comparative studies specialists, nor strictly "Caribbean literature" specialists, but also theoreticians, cultural studies scholars, historians of cultural translation and of intercultural...
Patrick Chamoiseau
Patrick Chamoiseau: A Critical Introduction examines the career, oeuvre, and literary theories of one of the most important Caribbean writers living today. Chamoiseau's work sheds light on the dynamic processes of creolization that have shaped Caribbean history and culture. He is the recipient of numerous literary prizes, including the prestigious Prix Goncourt for the epic novel Texaco. The author's diverse body of work, which includes plays, novels, fictionalized memoirs, treatises, and other genres of writing, offers a compelling vision of the postcolonial world from a francophone Caribbean perspective. An important addition to Caribbean literary studies, Patrick Chamoiseau is an indispen...
