Franketienne and Rewriting - A Work in Progress

Informationen zum Autor Rachel Douglas is lecturer in Francophone Postcolonial Studies at the University of Liverpool. Klappentext Frankétienne and Rewriting offers an overview the defining aesthetic and thematic components of Frankétienne's major works, particularly on the relation between his central aesthetic of the Spiral and the practice of rewriting that is prevalent in Caribbean literature. Situating this practice within the framework of postcolonial studies, Douglas argues that literary characteristics in Frankétienne connect with changing political, social, economic, and cultural circumstances in Haiti as he rewrites.
