The Post-Columbus Syndrome: Identities, Cultural Nationalism, and Commemorations in the Caribbean - New Caribbean Studies
F. Viala
Reflecting on the relationship between memory, power, and national identity, this book examines the complex reactions of the people of the Caribbean to the 500th anniversary of Columbus's discovery of the New World. Viala analyzes the ways in which Columbus became a reservoir of metaphors to confront anxieties of the present with myths of the past.
