In this collection of essays and lectures, written over many years and in response to the challenges posed by a changing world, she reflects on the ideas and histories that have moved her. From the use of French as her literary language--despite its colonial history--to the agonies of the Middle Passage, at the horrors of African dictatorship, and the politically induced poverty of the Caribbean to migration under globalization, Cond  casts her unflinching eye over the world which is her inheritance, her burden, and her future.\u003cbr\u003e Even while paying homage to her intellectual and literary influences--including Frantz Fanon, Leopold Sedar Senghor, and Aim  C saire--Cond  establishes in these pages the singularity of her vision and the reason for the enormous admiration that her writing has garnered from readers and critics alike. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Maryse Condé\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0857427555\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780857427557\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Seagull Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/05\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.60d","brand":"Maryse Condé","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45265110237439,"sku":"9780857427557","price":14.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d3c396d8-83a1-4e0e-8942-12cf4501156e.jpg?v=1713420180","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-journey-of-a-caribbean-maryse-cond-9780857427557","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
