An introducton to the thought of Martinican philosopher and novelist Edouard Glissant. The book offers both an exposition and analysis of his central preoccupations and philosophical concerns.
Édouard Glissant was a leading voice in debates centering on the postcolonial condition and on the present and future of globalisation. Prolific as both a theorist and a literary author, Glissant started his career as a contemporary of Frantz Fanon in the early days of francophone postcolonial thought. In the latter part of his career Glissant’s vision pushed beyond the boundaries of postcolonialism to encompass the contemporary phenomenon of globalisation. Sam Coombes offers a detailed analysis of Glissant’s thought, setting out the reasons why Glissant’s vision for a world of intercultural interaction both reflects but also seeks to provide a correction to some of the leading tendencies commonly associated with contemporary theory today.
"This study is striking for the intelligence of its composition and its arguments, which allow us to paint a unique portrait of Edouard Glissant as a thinker of the globalized world today..." - French Studies
"Coombes's chronological engagement with the texts provides a well-informed theoretical panorama of Glissant and of postcolonialism, globalism, and immigration in emerging, modern, multifaceted societies ... Summing Up: Recommended. Lower-division undergraduates through faculty." - CHOICE
