| description | Brathwaite (Kamau), Harris (Wilson), Walcott (Dereck) This article focuses on Afro-Caribbean poetry to analyze the revolutionary impact of language and its memorial transmission. Following Antonio Gramsci’s and Frantz Fanon’s theories, this article also examines how minor writing is linked with historic temporality. Based on Fanon’s theory that liberating peoples are the source of instabilities generating cultural changes, this article purports to show how the revolutionary expression of the poetic discourses of Kamau Brathwaite, Wilson Harris, Cyril Dabideen and Dereck Wallcott, tends to transcend the Western cultural hegemony and faces the oriental vision of both the African and Afro-Caribbean spaces. The original myth, with its memorial nature, bears the challenges of a minor writing which imposes a reading through the lens of subalternity and subordination. |
