Reviews
"This is a magnificent translation of a crucial book by Edouard Glissant, which extends his poetics of relation to all the intricacies of Globalisation, making the case for a new form of aesthetics and ethics that would allow for a renewed engagement with social and political justice. The book is eminently topical with regard to its themes, and this translation conveys Glissant's complex ideas and style with great care and accuracy."
Hugues Azerad, University of Cambridge
'This engaging and challenging work by the seminal French-Caribbean writer and philosopher Edouard Glissant features a timely plea for valuing and preserving diversity, relation and the irreducible alterity of the 'Other'. The book is especially pertinent amidst a historical backdrop plagued by socio-ecological upheavals and the mounting absence of diversity in a multiplicity of forms-from languages to species-which Glissant frequently laments.'
Heather Alberro, Journal of Critical Studies in Language and Literature
'Celia Britton's careful and accessible translation captures the poetic, playful, idiosyncratic, and challenging nature of Glissant's language.'Neil Campbell, Western American Literature
