The Repeating Island : the Caribbean and the postmodern perspective
Benitez-Rojo, Antonio
The Repeating Island : the Caribbean and the postmodern perspective / Antonio Benitez-Rojo - USA; Duke University Press Books; 1996 - 376p;
In this second edition of The Repeating Island, Antonio Benítez-Rojo, a master of the historical novel, short story, and critical essay, continues to confront the legacy and myths of colonialism. As he did in the first edition, Benítez-Rojo redefines the Caribbean by drawing on history, economics, sociology, cultural anthropology, psychoanalysis, literary theory, and nonlinear mathematics. His point of departure is chaos theory, which holds that order and disorder are not the antithesis of each other in nature but function as mutually generative phenomena.
