Invisible Exodus: The Cultural Effacement of Antillean Migration

Abstract

In the closing piece of the 1995 essay collection Penser la créolité [Thinking Creoleness], the Guadeloupean novelist Maryse Condé , also one of the volume’s editors, offers her thoughts on the revival of Creole language and culture advocated by the Martinican writers Patrick Chamoiseau and Raphael Confiant and the linguist Jean Bernabé in their 1989 manifesto, Éloge de la créolité [In Praise of Creoleness]. In her commentary Condé articulates in measured terms her view that, as a cultural movement, créolitéremains trapped in an outdated opposition between France and the Caribbean, metropolitan center and tropical margin.
