Les concepts de creolisation et de societe creole ont fait partie des termes de reference utilises par les intellectuels engages dans la constitution d'une identite nationale et culturelle dans le processus de decolonisation. Selon l'A., si le modele de la societe creole s'inscrit dans les etudes anthropologiques du changement culturel, alternant entre un point de vue dualiste et dialectique, il lui manque des fondements theoriques solides. Il soutient que ce modele, tel qu'il est presente par Kamau Brathwaite, est mal defini et ambigu, a cause d'une vision dualiste qui s'articule autour des oppositions maitre/esclave, blanc/noir, metropole/colonie, colon/creole. Ces elements sont en fait, d'un point de vue dialectique, les parties d'un ensemble et n'ont pas d'existence autonome, mais se definissent par leurs relations reciproques. La comprehension de la creolisation comme processus culturel central de l'histoire sociale des Caraibes doit aboutir a une reconceptualisation de la nature du colonialisme et de la societe coloniale, en tant que forces et systemes sociaux caracterises par des conflits sociaux et des contradictions structurelles, provoquant leur propre transformation
