Description: Creole Indigeneity : Between Myth and Nation in the Caribbean, Paperback by Jackson, Shona N., ISBN 081667776X, ISBN-13 9780816677764, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US Jackson (English, Texas A&M U.) uses as a framework for this discourse the humanist work of Sylvia Wynter, which claims that global human culture is rule-governed and ethnoclassist, applying those lessons to the sociohistorical context of the modern Caribbean, especially Guyana. Jackson is especially concerned with those aspects of race and history often masked or ignored in modern society, especially by those who are a direct product of cultural colonialism. Chapter one explores a theoretical framework for understanding Creole identity in materialist and idealist contexts. Chapter two explores in the literary figure of Caliban the ways in which the Creole figure is narratively instituted, while chapter three examines political subjectivity and the role of myth. Chapter four continues the examination of myth, specifically in the poetics of colonialism which informed ethnonationalism, and chapter five explores Indian belonging in Guyana. Th culminates with a conclusion, extensive notes, and a bibliography. Annotation ©2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
