Book Synopsis The Creolization Reader by : Robin Cohen
Book excerpt: The term 'creolization' has now migrated from its prior use in linguistics and colonial settings. Increasingly 'creolization' is used to analyze 'cultural complexity', 'diversity', 'hybridity', 'syncretism', and 'mixture', prominent and growing characteristics of the global age. The Creolization Reader captures all these meanings and illuminates old creole societies, emerging cultures and identities in many parts of the world. Areas covered include Latin America, the South Atlantic/Indian oceans, the Caribbean, West and East Africa, the Pacific and the US. The book is truly inter-disciplinary and provides a timely, reader-friendly and informative overview of creolization.
