- Summary:
- Joseph Zobel (1915-2006) is one of the best-known Francophone Caribbean authors, and is internationally recognized for his novel 'La Rue Cases-Nègres' (1950). Yet very little is known about his other novels, and most readings of 'La Rue Cases-Nègres' consider the text in isolation. Through a series of close readings of the author's six published novels, with supporting references drawn from his published short stories, poetry and diaries, this text generates new insights into Zobel's highly original decision to develop Négritude's project of affirming pride in black identity through the novel and social realism.
