Synopsis "Creole Renegades: Rhetoric of Betrayal and Guilt in the Caribbean Diaspora"
Caribbean Philosophical Association Nicolás Cristóbal GuillénBatista Outstanding Book Award Caribbean Studies Association Barbara T.Christian Literary Award, Honorable Mention In Creole Renegades, Bénédicte Boisseron looks at exiled Caribbean authors--Edwidge Danticat, JamaicaKincaid, V. S. Naipaul, Maryse Condé, Dany Laferriére, and more--whose workshave been well received in their adopted North American countries but who areoften viewed by their home islands as sell-outs, opportunists, or traitors. Theseexpatriate and second-generation authors refuse to be simple bearers ofCaribbean culture, often dramatically distancing themselves from thepostcolonial archipelago. Their writing is frequently infused with an enticingsense of cultural, sexual, or racial emancipation, but their deviance is notdefiant. Underscoringthe typically ignored contentious relationship between modern diaspora authorsand the Caribbean, Boisseron ultimately argues that displacement and creativeautonomy are often manifest in guilt and betrayal, central themes that emergeagain and again in the work of these writers.Publication of the paperback edition made possible by a Sustainingthe Humanities through the American Rescue Plan grant from the NationalEndowment for the Humanities.
