Exploring the work of Rene? Me?nil, E?douard Glissant, Wilson Harris, Derek Walcott, Antonio Beni?tez-Rojo, Pauline Melville, Robert Antoni and Nalo Hopkinson, this study reveals the explicit and implicit engagement with Deleuzian thought at work in contemporary Caribbean writing. Uniting for the first time two major schools of contemporary thought - postcolonialism and post-continental philosophy - this study establishes a new and innovative critical discourse for Caribbean studies and postcolonial theory beyond the oppositional dialectic of colonizer and colonized. Drawing from Deleuze's writings on Bergson, Nietzsche and Spinoza, this study interrogates the postcolonial tropes of newness, becoming, relationality and a philosophical concept of immanence that lie at the heart of a little-observed dialogue between contemporary Caribbean writers and Deleuze 606 $aCaribbean literature$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aPostcolonialism in literature 606 $aContinental philosophy 615 0$aCaribbean literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aPostcolonialism in literature. 615 0$aContinental philosophy. 676 $a809/.89729 700 $aBurns$b Lorna$0878103 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 801 2$bUkLoBP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910453304203321 996 $aContemporary Caribbean writing and Deleuze$91960419 997 $aUNINA
