Composed in part in the aftermath of Barack Obama's election in 2008, the texts resonate with the current context of divided identities and criticisms of multiculturalism. The individual texts grapple with concrete historical and political moments in France, the Caribbean, and North America. Across the manifestos, as well as two collectively signed op-eds, the authors engage with socio-political aspects of climate catastrophe, resource extraction, toxicity, and neocolonialism. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThroughout the collection, Glissant and Chamoiseau engage with key themes articulated through their poetic vocabulary, including Relation, globalization, globality (\u003ci\u003emondialité\u003c\/i\u003e), anti-universalism, \u003ci\u003emétissage\u003c\/i\u003e, the \u003ci\u003etout-monde\u003c\/i\u003e (\"whole-world\") and the \u003ci\u003etout-vivant\u003c\/i\u003e (\"all-living,\" including the relationship of humans to each other and \"nature\"), créolité and the creolization of the world, and the liberation from community assignations in response to individualism and neoliberal societies. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTranslated as the first volume in the Planetarities series with Goldsmiths Press, the themes of \u003ci\u003eManifestos\u003c\/i\u003e resonate with the planetary as they work in response to contemporary forms of (economic) globalization, western capitalism, identity politics, and urban, digital and cosmic ecosystems, as well as the role of the poet-writer. A distinguishing feature of this publication is its interventional aspect, which prioritizes engaged scholarship and practice while demonstrating the relevance of the poetic in response to the urgencies of planetary crisis.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Goldsmiths Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/20\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781913380540\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.81lbs","brand":"Edouard Glissant, Patrick Chamoiseau","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42325199913141,"sku":"9781913380540","price":25.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_8040715b-edfc-44dc-ac4d-970e8cc6a998.jpg?v=1660017415","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/manifestos-9781913380540","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
