La Caraïbe et sa diaspora clament un imaginaire commun, des préoccupations esthétiques et éthiques qui se font écho, au-delà des ondes linguistiques qui diffractent "la communauté imaginée" caribéenne. Or, ces littératures sont rarement comparées, le comparatisme demeure trop souvent une impasse. À partir de cinq "traverses", dix auteurs franco- et anglophones sont ici comparés. Ju xtaposant dans chacun des chapitres une voix anglophone et une voix francophone de cette Caraïbe étendue, de frappantes concordances, au-delà de la balkanisation, apparaissent. Ressemblances dans l'usage de la slave narrative chez Morrison et Condé, dans le tabou du gender chez Baldwin et Damas, dans la popularité du travelogue en Amérique du Nord et dans l'int érêt que lui portent Laferrière et Danticat ; ou encore l'absence de la Créole dans les fictions sur la Révolution haïtienne (Fignolé et Smartt-Bell). Enfin, les débuts respectifs de Harris et de Glissant esquissent déjà, de manière parallèle, la créolisation (esthétique, stylistique, thématique).

The talk of a catastrophic contemporary environmental crisis is all around us. Yet the relationship between such a crises and literary and cultural forms remains relatively unexamined. This book offers a way to think about this relationship by reading a number of key contemporary Indian novels alongside accounts of the severely stressed ecology and environment of the country. In doing so, postcolonial environments also suggests a new alignment between the theoretical fields of postcolonial and environmental studies. In showing how such an alignment can provide us with a materialist and historicist account of environments of cultures and cultures of environment, the book makes an original contribution to the emergent area of green postcolonialism.
