Crossroads of Colonial Cultures :Caribbean Literatures in the Age of Revolution

Muller, Gesine - Nama Orang

Racist discourses, established models of white abolitionists, politics of remembrance and the hitherto neglected role of the Haitian Revolution combine to an amalgam that questions our established concept of a genuine western modernity.
