• Sommario/riassunto: French Guyane, Guyana and Suriname are not often focused on. Sometimes French Guyane is believed to be an island, and one often wonders where Guyana is situated, or Suriname. This collection of essays aims to increase the visibility of the Guyanas and more particularly of the three countries mentioned above. It also means to contribute to scholarship already published and share the knowledge across various disciplinary fields.

L’intention est aussi d’enrichir la recherche déjà publiée et de partager les connaissances de façon interdisciplinaire. Ce volume s’efforcera de mettre en question la division traditionnelle entre les champs universitaires : une telle division est-elle le meilleur moyen d’approcher des territoires si complexes, aux géographies, histoires, langues et cultures si multiples ? S’éloignant d’une approche binaire qui serait…
