"Rewriting" in the context of critical work on Caribbean literature has tended to be used to discuss revisionism from a variety of postcolonial perspectives, such as "rewriting history" or "rewriting canonical texts." By shifting the focus to how Caribbean writers return to their own works in order to rework them, this book offers theoretical considerations to postcolonial studies on "literariness" in relation to the near-obsessive degree of rewriting to which Caribbean writers have subjected their own literary texts. Focusing specifically on Frankétienne, this book offers an overview of how the defining aesthetic and thematic components of Frankétienne's major works have emerged over the course of his forty-year writing career. It reveals the marked development of key notions guiding his literary creation since the 1960s, and demonstrates that rewriting illustrates the central aesthetic of the Spiral which has always shaped his œuvre. It is, the book argues, the constantly moving form of the Spiral which Frankétienne explores through his constant reworking of his previously written texts.Frankétienne and Rewriting negotiates between the literary and material ends of the burgeoning field of postcolonial studies, arguing that literary characteristics in Frankétienne connect with changing political, social, economic, and cultural circumstances in the Haiti he rewrites.

The New Silk Road Becomes The World Land-Bridge

EIR's _ROAD-MAP_ TO THE NEW WORLD ECONOMIC ORDER! Read EIR's comprehensive study of the progress of the Eurasian Land-Bridge project which Lyndon and Helga LaRouche have championed for over 20 years. The 374-page report, entitled _The New Silk Road Becomes the World Land-Bridge,_ is nothing less than a conceptual, and often physical, road-map to a new world economic order. This path is currently being charted by the nations of the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa), who are leading a dynamic of global optimism toward real economic development, complete with new credit institutions and major high-technology projects for uplifting all mankind. After an introduction by Helga Zepp-LaRouche, the report lays out the _Metrics of Progress, based on the economic scientific principles developed by renowned physical economist Lyndon LaRouche. It then proceeds region by region, beginning with China and Russia, to present the stunning progress, and plans, which have been made toward the Eurasian Land-Bridge design that the Chinese government laid out in 1996, and other nations have begun to rally behind in recent years. The report is complete with many full-color maps of its featured development corridors.

Making The Black Jacobins: C. L. R. James and the Drama of History (The C. L. R. James Archives)

History

Duke University Press Books

C. L. R. James's The Black Jacobins remains one of the great works of the twentieth century and the cornerstone of Haitian Revolutionary studies. In Making "The Black Jacobins" Rachel Douglas traces the genesis, transformation, and afterlives of James's landmark work across the decades from the 1930s onwards. Examining the 1938 and 1963 editions of The Black Jacobins, the 1967 play of the same name, and his 1936 play Toussaint Louverture—as well as manuscripts, notes, interviews, and other texts—Douglas shows how, from the early 1930s to his death in 1989, James continuously rewrote and revised his history of the Haitian Revolution as his politics and engagement with Marxism evolved. She also points to the vital significance theater played in James's work and how it influenced his views of history. Douglas shows The Black Jacobins to be a palimpsest; its successive layers of rewriting renewing its call to new generations.
