| Sumario: | Drawing on narratives from Martinique by Aime Cesaire, Édouard Glissant, Ina Cesaire, and Patrick Chamoiseau, among others, the author shows how these writers turn to ethnography -- even as they critique it -- as an exploration and expression of the self. They acknowledge its tradition as a colonial discourse and a study of others, but they also argue for ethnography's advantage in connecting subjectivity to the outside world. Further, they find that ethnography offers the possibility of capturing within the hybrid culture of the Caribbean an emergent self that nonetheless remains attached to its collective history and environment. |
