{"product_id":"9781937658953","title":"Sun of Consciousness by Edouard Glissant","description":"Soleil de la Conscience (Sun of Consciousness) was Martinican philosopher ?douard Glissant's first published work, and opened the Po?tique (Poetics) strain of his oeuvre. This book-length essay, which is characterized by its exploratory, intimate character, announces Glissants concerns with cr?olisation (creolization), mondialit? (worldliness, as against globalization), or opacit? (opacity) and inscribes in this work a refusal of colonialism and of inverted exoticism. The sense of estrangement experienced by the author who arrives as a \"foreigner\" in a country to which he is bound by \"the first page of his passport\" is the author's principal preoccupation. By positioning himself as both different and same, Glissant opens a space for the writing of a(nother) history: that of the Caribbean.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56309079605621,"sku":"9781937658953","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781937658953.jpg?v=1762810361","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781937658953","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
