The collected manifestos of Édouard Glissant and Patrick Chamoiseau: for a postcolonial response to planetary crisis. Manifestos brings together for the first time in English the manifestos written by Édouard Glissant and Patrick Chamoiseau between 2000 and 2009. Composed in part in the aftermath of Barack Obama’s election in 2008 the texts resonate with the current context of divided identities and criticisms of multiculturalism. The individual texts grapple with concrete historical and political moments in France the Caribbean and North America. Across the manifestos as well as two collectively signed op-eds the authors engage with socio-political aspects of climate catastrophe resource extraction toxicity and neocolonialism. Throughout the collection Glissant and Chamoiseau engage with key themes articulated through their poetic vocabulary including Relation globalization globality (mondialité) anti-universalism métissage the tout-monde (whole-world”) and the tout-vivant (all-living ” including the relationship of humans to each other and nature”) créolité and the creolization of the world and the liberation from community assignations in response to individualism and neoliberal societies. Translated as the first volume in the Planetarities series with Goldsmiths Press the themes of Manifestos resonate with the planetary as they work in response to contemporary forms of (economic) globalization western capitalism identity politics and urban digital and cosmic ecosystems as well as the role of the poet-writer. A distinguishing feature of this publication is its interventional aspect which prioritizes engaged scholarship and practice while demonstrating the relevance of the poetic in response to the urgencies of planetary crisis.
