Marl'ene Edwin argues that historic marginalisation, which has barred Caribbean scholars from entering 'formal' archival spaces, has created an alternative discourse. Consequently, Caribbean writers have chosen the imagined landscapes of literature, a new archival space for the Caribbean, within which to document and preserve Caribbean cultural traditions. Fiction allows for the safeguarding of traditions, so how then should Caribbean literature be read? The combination of a physical and a virtual archive, questions the literary and linguistic interface that such a mingling entails in a preservation of Caribbean culture. Edwin argues for an appreciation of orality as performance as well as the reading of texts as 'creolised archive.'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMarl'ene Edwin\u003c\/b\u003e is deputy director of the Centre for Caribbean and Diaspora Studies at Goldsmiths, University of London.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 226\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.63 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 20, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67634787909734,"sku":"9781666958966","price":192.33,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/7255\/0758\/files\/oFZMqwOliI9781666958966.webp?v=1791193878","url":"https:\/\/infinitylightwa.com\/products\/archiving-creole-voices-representations-of-language-and-culture-hardcover","provider":"Infinity Light","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
