This collection of essays explores historical and conceptual locations of Guyane, as a relational space characterised by dynamics of interaction and conflict between the local, the national and the global. Does Guyane have, or has it had, its own place in the world, or is it a borderland which can only make sense in relation to elsewhere: to France and its colonial history, for example, or to African and other diasporas, or as a 'margin' of Europe?\u003cbr\u003eThis edited collection is the first volume to study Guyane from multiple perspectives. It subjects the enduring clich�s and negative stereotypes regarding Guyane to critical examination, exploring how discourse on this DOM is, and has been, formed and how it may evolve. Chapters discuss geographical, literary and cultural 'locations' of Guyane, past and present, challenging its relegation to the 'periphery', whilst also historicizing the production of its marginal status. Finally, the collection aims to outline possible future challenges to the conceptual location of Guyane and possible directions for continued research.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Liverpool University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47779779412119,"sku":"9781800855816","price":6271.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781800855816.webp?v=1778039303","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/locating-guyane-9781800855816","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
