The Repeating Island: The Caribbean and the Postmodern Perspective

Meer over het boek

Exploring the legacy of colonialism, this expanded edition introduces new chapters that incorporate Lacanian theory and carnivalesque elements into the study of Caribbean culture. The author employs chaos theory to illustrate how order and disorder coexist, revealing a complex sociocultural identity within the Caribbean's diverse histories and traditions. Through insightful analyses of notable literary figures, the work redefines Caribbean identity as a paradoxical "island" that reflects the region's rich and intricate heritage.
