Section Info:
"Autobiography, History and Identity in the French Caribbean" Autobiography has long been a favored form in Caribbean writing. It is a multifaceted genre that has served historical, cultural, and discursive ends, ranging from a response to colonial erasure to inscribing and affirming new nationalist identities in an era of postcolonialism and departmentalization . But autobiography itself is an inherently fluid form, one whose variable approaches can promote false impressions of temporality and causality even as it incorporates patterns of play, commentary, and misdirection. Particular attention will be paid to uses of the form in the contemporary French Caribbean. Authors to be studied include Chamoiseau, Confiant, Zobel, Cond�, and Pineau.
