Main Article Content
Abstract
This article reflects the way in which four renowned authors deal with the essentialist view of Black Antillean identity. It is based on the textual analysis of a set of theoretical and fictional works to identify some counter-discoursive dynamics that, from the academic and literary fields, redefine the social and cultural legacy of the Black-Caribbean communities. The article contributes to the studies of the Caribbean by analyzing a vital scriptural corpus for the historical thinking of this region.
