Conde's Crossing the Mangrove

Its roots: Dissolving the identity of Creole as it crosses the mangrove. "I want to repeat it, I will not use French nor Creole, I wrote in Maryse Conde" 1 ("Liaison dangereuse", 2007) is an impossible expression that is not accurate for Guadeloupe writers. Writing in French is particularly problematic for French-speaking authors of the post-colonial era; use of colonial languages ​​seems futile when trying to disassemble culture and language. Certainly, Kant, the author of the mangrove obviously wrote in French, but we can explain the concept that the language must be related to culture and history without fail.

Crossing the mangrove published in 1985 is the third novel by Maryse Conde. It is based on the authors' own French career. Born in Guadeloupe, she placed a novel in the same place and showed respect for her place. As with all her other works, this book was originally published in French and later translated into English and other languages. Kant acquired his degree from the University of Paris, and French literature is her main passion. She teaches French at Columbia University. In this way, with emphasis on languages, she produced books centered on the value of the vocabulary being spoken. It is no exception to cross a mangrove. Kant is writing from Le Grand Prix Litteraire de la Femme and Le Grandie de L'Acedemie Française
