Topic > French Influence on the Caribbean - 1386

“We saw the world through the filter of Western values ​​and our founding was “exoticized” by the French vision we had to adopt.” (page 13; Callalo)”. The influence that the French had on the Caribbean islands had a negative character of themselves, the Caribbean people lost sight of their identity as an island. French Caribbean writing is the inscription of identity on the walls of history, and meaning may be buried in the text, but the psychological behavior of the writings exposes the divisions between being Westernized and the heritage that was in the shadow. French ways forced us to denigrate ourselves: the common condition of the colonized. (p.891; Bernabe) French Caribbean literature can be defined as the writing of people of Caribbean descent who were depressed in French culture, and the writings varied depending on the writer's acceptance of the identity, psychological, and ideological views of own measure of acceptance or rejection, they were alienated, degraded and deprived of their freedom to be transformed into educated Caribbean people under the French belt. There is a psychological phenomenon that consists in believing that the world will open up as borders are demolished. (p. 5; Fanon) French Caribbean literature through the eyes of different authors may have the same basis but may oppose similar views on the same issues. In Carbet's poems he expresses some division regarding the relationship between the island of Martinique and the people who honor it. She presents a superior complex between her and the island, but even with a barrier she demonstrates to readers that her love is greater than her dislike of the island. Frantz Fanon was a black psychiatrist, philosopher, revolutionary from Martinique,...... center of card... he explained what kind of world blacks found themselves in and showed how they could get out of it. Carbet's pieces, in praise of creoleness, and Frantz Fanon's essay Black Skin White Mask were excellent supporting literature to support the arguments. The pieces of literature worked together because they all had the same structure of indecision. I really don't understand what's happening but I realize everything is changing. Aside from that, the reason why Creole people feel the need not to speak Creole after studying, because all the negative stigmas are attached to the Creole language, and being educated they know it, the educated black man tried to stay away to realize it as a civilized man. The path and tribulations oppress the Creole stigma, they disguise themselves in French culture to feel more equal, not slaves of the white man.
