Treatise on the Whole-World: By Édouard Glissant
When the Walls Fall: Is National Identity an Outlaw
When the Walls Fall is a manifesto written by Glissant and Chamoiseau against the creation of the Ministry of Immigration, Integration, National Identity, and Co-development established in 2007 by French president Nicolas Sarkozy. The manifesto is a call against the building of walls that separate us rather than relate us one to another in a society. Walls are contradictory to the notion of Relation that Glissant and Chamoiseau advocate, where on…

High Noon
High Noon* Édouard Glissant Translated by Mary Ann Caws (bio) Then the sun, this single kingdom. Which was the earth of childhood, and stillis, so simply. All this wounded time, finally coming to the secret of the saltborn by an island. Such a large ambition, wanting to speak of time. Each oneonly stretches out this space in himself, where its word repeats, its lightresounds.I have seen my island on its south wind. The salt of the poem finally la…

XII* Édouard Glissant Translated by Mary Ann Caws (bio) As one among the bright trees, reborn in the south wind,It’s the last night, tomorrow the stone on the stoneWill choose itself. And like one who sculpts a bone of blue sulfur.He was singing the bitter night open to the salt and a womanSadder than in the bonfire the nubile body of the sunWhen the fire of the sun, itself dying, is changingWithin the day and its burning. Mary Ann Caws Mary Ann …
Acclamation
Acclamation* Édouard Glissant Translated by Mary Ann Caws (bio) It was the salt in the cauldron of time. All that remains is the dark urn ofwords. Is there a morning? Certainly the darkness is of good presage, —whenthe words gleam on the doorstep of the house. In this kingdom of our hands.

In Praise of the Different and of Difference
In Praise of the Different and of Difference Édouard Glissant Translated by Celia Britton (bio) “Beauty is the sign of what, here, is going to change.” All this accumulation of the World and everywhere the hideous ugliness and the indifference, the streaking acts of violence and outrage, and even those who “make art,” who seem to be such liberators, who seem to promise a transition to something different, to something which at least acknowledges …

XI* Édouard Glissant Translated by Mary Ann Caws (bio) And you the salt of the kingdom of my hands, here. I am as one,Stupefied, who plunges in the sea, watching them perishAround him the night and the shores, the discourseOf torches, flowering, and the flood falling silent.And which is reborn in the first morning. He knowsThe sparkling night, the bonfires, the only fruit. Mary Ann Caws Mary Ann Caws is Distinguished Professor of English, French,…

The First Day
The First Day* Édouard Glissant Translated by Mary Ann Caws (bio) The teller measures his word in immeasurable radiance. He goes, throughsolitude itself, to sing the earth, and those who suffer it. He offers the word notto those whom it delights, who are elated by it: but to the bodies burned bytime: thickets, people compelled, bare villages, the many on the shore. When this wise sailor, this speaker of measure, is ended by his song, it giveshim …
Black Salt
Black Salt* Édouard Glissant Translated by Mary Ann Caws (bio) Dedicated: to the sea For the salt it signifies.Again the brilliance and the bitternessDistress of lights on its expanse. Profusion. The theme, as pure idea,knots itself with foam, with salting. Monotony: untiring sound the crysplits open.There is—on the delta—a river where the word builds up, the poem—and where the salt is purified. Mary Ann Caws Mary Ann Caws is Distinguished Profes…
La latinité des Amériques
Les paysages américains sont d’ouverture, d’emportement et de grand vent. La plus minuscule ravine et les plus immenses canyons s’y rejoignent, de même que les salines les plus réduites et les déserts les plus éclatants. Les pitons des îles font signe aux Andes et aux sierras. La feuille de ciguë y converse avec le séquoia immémorial. Et nous habitons ces pays. Or il me semble qu’une des qualités de ces paysages a été d’évacuer la toute-puissance…
Creolisation and the Americas

Creolization in the Making of the Americas
Inscribed in the American landscape, opening up through it, living in and manifsting it, there is a civilizational region, real but long unnoticed, perhaps because it was balkanized by occidental colonizers. This is the region of the plantation system;' composed of the West Indies and the Caribbean, the Caribbean coast of Latin America (that is to say, the coastal part of Venezuela and Colombia, which is different in many respects from the South …

Poetics of relation
In Poetics of Relation, French-Caribbean writer and philosopher Edouard Glissant turns the concrete particulars of Caribbean reality into a complex, energetic vision of a world in transformation. He sees the islands of the Antilles as enduring an invalid suffering imposed by history, yet also as a place whose unique interactions will one day produce an emerging global consensus. Arguing that the writer alone can tap the unconscious of a people an…

Les Garifunas sont les descendants d’esclaves noirs importés d’Afrique, comme l’illustre une carte peinte sur le mur d’un café de Livingston (côte caraïbe du Guatemala). Cette scène, où l’on voit des Garifunas chanter et danser pour un public formé de femmes indiennes, illustre les propos d’Édouard Glissant, « L’Amérique Latine, la Caraïbe, et le Brésil, sont ainsi des conservatoires, des microclimats spirituel…
