Towards a definition of postcolonial biographical fiction
In this introduction to the special issue on “Illuminating Lives: The Biographical Impulse in Postcolonial Literatures”, we start by situating the genre of biographical fiction, which has become increasingly popular in postcolonial literatures and beyond, in relation to more “traditional” nonfictional biography. We then examine how postcolonial biofiction might be distinguished from its postmodern avatar, and we tentatively circumscribe some of t…
A growth to understanding”
Starting from the recognition of a biographical impulse in the work of Caryl Phillips, this interview focuses on his practice of biographical fiction. Among the issues raised are the increased popularity of life writing, the tension between fact and fiction at the heart of biographical narratives, the linguistic exactitude involved in focusing on historical characters, the role of research in the exploration of human lives, and the importance of …

This paper analyses how the younger noveli…
Creolization in Robert Antoni’s Blessed is the Fruit
With the exception of reggae, creolization is no doubt one of the major Caribbean contributions to the world of universal culture. Originating in the area's complex and often painful early experience of migration and cosmopolitanism, it has recently been summed up as syncretic process of transverse dynamics that endlessly reworks and transforms the cultural patterns of varied social and historical experiences and identities. Although cultural int…
