Bøger af Valerie Loichot

In coastal Louisiana, Mississippi, Georgia, Miami, Haiti, Martinique, Cancun, and Trinidad and Tobago, the artists and writers featured in Water Graves are an archipelago connected by a history of the slave trade and environmental vulnerability.

Investigates the fiction and poetry of four writers who emerged from the postslavery plantation world of the Americas - William Faulkner, Edouard Glissant, Toni Morrison, and Saint-John Perse - to show how these descendants from slaves and from slaveholders wrote both in relation and in resistance to the violence of plantation slavery.

The Tropics Bite Back traces the evolution of the Caribbean response to the colonial gaze (or rather the colonial mouth) from the late nineteenth century to the twenty-first. Valerie Loichot employs cross-disciplinary methods to rethink notions of race and literary influence by providing a fresh perspective on forms of consumption both metaphorical and material.
