Abstract

e present article explores from a critical point of view the most signi cant concepts developed by the Caribbean intellectual Édouard Glissant in his most important work e Antillean Discourse. e article proposes a lecture which emphasizes in the dynamics of continuity and rupture that the author establishes with his predecessors Aimé Césaire and Frantz Fanon. In this way we proceed to rescue a political vein of the work of Glissant that has been displaced for the approaches of his later works, much further from the Caribbean context, and closer to the postulates of French poststructuralism

Keywords:

Antillean thought, colonialism, mimetic drive, assimilation
