Content:
'The Sense of Community in French Caribbean Fiction' seeks to better understand the concept of community as a central and problematic issue in French Caribbean literature. The study examines representations of community in seven French Caribbean novels, including Jacques Roumain's 'Gouverneurs de la Rosée', Edouard Glissant's 'Le Quatrième Siècle', Simone Schwarz-Bart's 'Pluie et vent sur Télumée Miracle', Vincent Placoly's 'L'Eau-de-Mort Guildive', Patrick Chamoiseau's 'Texaco', Daniel Maximin's 'L'Ile et Une Nuit', and Maryse Condé's 'Desirada'. Each novel is discussed in chronological order, demonstrating a progressive move away from the 'closed' community towards a newer sense of an 'open' community.
