Between misfortune and misery,the Creole and the French language

Abstract

The essays of Deborah Jenson and Chelsea Stieber point the way forward: a closer relationship amongst colleagues in the region, a deep analysis of the foundations that define us and our own way of progressing, as well as a careful look at the structures of national communities and their way of distancing themselves from this relatively hostile global universe. They retain the importance of the local language in getting closer to lived reality.
