Research Topic The Rhetoric of Creole Identity, Community Belonging and Racialisation: Haitian Neighbours and Asian Others in Francophone and Anglophone Caribbean Novels
听
Research锛� This project investigates the (self-)representations of Sino-Caribbean, Indo-Caribbean, and Haitian immigrants in Francophone and Anglophone Caribbean literature. It provides a literature analysis of the novels written by authors including Maryse Cond茅, Rapha毛l Confiant, Jan Lowe Shinebourne, Patricia Powell, Victor Chang, Ernest Moutoussamy, Ramabai Espinet, Ren茅 Philoct猫te, Edwidge Danticat. The project examines the complex interplay between Caribbean cultural hybridity and the persisting colourism, sexism, and inter-racial tensions resulting from the lingering colonial heteropatriarchal legacy. The project鈥檚 exploration of Caribbean cultural identities and modes of communities will complicate the elaboration on collective Creole identity in 脡loge de la Cr茅olit茅 (1989), aiming to bring out the voices silenced by colonial history.
