This issue of Point d'Ironie presents a selection of written texts from Edouard Glissant who born in 1928 on the French Caribbean islan of Martinique. He bridges the disciplines of art and litterature. In his writings, Glissant has shown that one of the most regretable consequences of globilization is homogenization in all areas of life. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
