This schedule is subject to change as the semester progresses. This course will study late colonial writers (Aimé Césaire, Jean Rhys, George Lamming) together with postcolonial successors in literature and film representing the three major literary cultures of the Caribbean: Francophone (Euzhan Palcy, Raoul Peck), Anglophone (Jamaica Kincaid, Derek Walcott, Edwidge Danticat), and Hispanophone (Alejo Carpentier, Tomás Gutiérrez Alea, Humberto Solas). Drawing on and transforming the cultural legacies of their European and American colonizers, Caribbean artists have sought to create new literary and cinematic vocabularies in which to express the personal and political situation of the postcolonial Caribbean subject. The course hopes to foster awareness of the cultural history of the Caribbean, a region that is too often viewed exclusively though the reductive lenses of tourism, domestic politics, and (alas!) meteorology. Particular attention to questions of postcolonial identity, culture and globalization, and relationships between literature and film.
