Créolité

Créolité is a cultural and literary movement that emphasizes celebrating the unique identity of Caribbean societies, which are shaped by a blend of African, European, Indigenous, and Asian influences. It advocates for recognizing and expressing this diverse heritage through language, art, and literature, moving beyond stereotypes or colonial perspectives. Founded in the 1980s by writers like Patrick Chamoiseau, Raphaël Confiant, and Jean Bernabé, Créolité promotes pride in local cultures and the idea that Caribbean identity is a dynamic, hybrid creation rooted in history and community.
