Jun 2018) In Simon Gikandi’s view, Caribbean literature and postcolonial literature more generally negotiate an uneasy relationship with the concepts of modernism and modernity—a relationship in which the Caribbean writer, unable to escape a history encoded by Europe, accepts the challenge of rewriting it. Drawing on contemporary deconstructionist theory, Gikandi looks at how such Caribbean writers as George Lamming, Samuel Selvon, Alejo Carpentier, C. L. R. James, Paule Marshall, Merle Hodge, Zee Edgell, and Michelle Cliff have attempted to confront European modernism In English Carpentier, Alejo 1904-1980 El siglo de las luces (DE-588)4367871-3 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte 1945-1990 gnd rswk-swf Englisch (DE-588)4014777-0 gnd rswk-swf Literatur (DE-588)4035964-5 gnd rswk-swf Karibik (DE-588)4073241-1 gnd rswk-swf Westindien (DE-588)4079228-6 gnd rswk-swf England (DE-588)4014770-8 gnd rswk-swf England (DE-588)4014770-8 g Literatur (DE-588)4035964-5 s Karibik (DE-588)4073241-1 g Geschichte 1945-1990 z 1\p DE-604 Englisch (DE-588)4014777-0 s 2\p DE-604 Westindien (DE-588)4079228-6 g 3\p DE-604 Carpentier, Alejo 1904-1980 El siglo de las luces (DE-588)4367871-3 u 4\p DE-604 https://www.degruyter.com/doi/book/10.7591/9781501722936 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 2\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 3\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 4\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
