  • Creole Against Creolization

    Elizabeth ColwillARTICLETheory & Event2023

    The meanings of "creole" and "creolization" metamorphose as they traverse centuries, oceans and archipelagos, muddying theoretical waters. Whose interests are served, and what forms of relationality forged, in deployments of "creole" and "creolization"? What is the relationship of creolization to antiracism and decolonization?
