Summary:
This study proposes to examine the historical ramifications of exoticism from a critical reading of the General History of the Antilles (1654 / 1667-71) written by the Dominican missionary, Jean-Baptiste Du Tertre. Proceeding from a literary analysis, our study suggests a reconfiguration of exoticism based both on contemporary theorizing and on the historical context and aesthetics of the time. Our work is therefore both theoretical by offering a critical analysis of the different orientations of exoticism; and historical, by presenting an in-depth reading of a work of considerable importance both for the history of French and West Indian literature and for the history of anthropology. In this regard, this study will also provide an exploration of the very first French colonization of the islands and how it was represented. This book examines the historical ramifications of the concept of exoticism through a literary analysis of Histoire générale des Antilles (1654 / 1667-71) written by Dominican missionary Jean-Baptiste Du Tertre.
