Sahakian argues that these latae-twentieth-century plays by French Caribbean women writers dramatize and enact creolization--the process of cultural transformation through mixing and conflict that occurred in the context of the legacies of slavery and colonialism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSahakian here theorizes creolization as a performance-based process, dramatized by French Caribbean women's plays and enacted through their international production and reception histories. The author contends that the syncretism of the plays is not a static, fixed creole aesthetics but rather a dynamic process of creolization in motion, informed by history and based in the African-derived principle that performance is a space of creativity and transformation that connects past, present, and future.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Virginia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52691403702639,"sku":"9780813940083","price":290.55,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0921\/9384\/9711\/files\/0813940087.jpg?v=1771537667","url":"https:\/\/internacional.umlivro.com.br\/products\/staging-creolization","provider":"UmLivro Internacional","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
