LITR 077F. Caribbean and African Literatures and Cultures in Translation


Through close reading and discussion of African and Caribbean texts, originally written in French, we will examine the “re/wri/gh/t/ing” of the local and national pre/ post/colonial H/h/istories. The emphasis will be on some cultural, social and racial issues and on their rendering in distinct literary forms: language, rhythm, influences, ruptures, etc. The theoretical readings of CLR James, F. Fanon, A. and S. Césaire, E. Glissant, among others, will guide our analysis. Taught in English; and there will be a 0.5 credit French Attachment for students reading in French.
