Non illustré. Mises à jour gratuites en ligne. Extrait : Le créole guadeloupéen est une langue créole à base lexicale française parlé en Guadeloupe. Il est le reflet de l'histoire de ses locuteurs, les descendants des esclaves des Antilles françaises. Il a été formé autour du français du siècle mais l'incessant jeu de conquêtes et de pertes de territoires entre Anglais, Français, Portugais, Néerlandais l'a aussi influencé. Les mots d'origine caraïbe ou africaine sont extrêmement rares. Il est très proche des créoles martiniquais et haïtien, ainsi que des formes de créoles parlées dans les îles anciennement francophones (à la Dominique et à Sainte-Lucie). Parfois le créole guadeloupéen, le créole dominicain, le créole martiniquais et créole sainte-lucien sont considerés comme une seule langue - le créole antillais. "Ralentissez (Levez le pied à vous), il y a des enfants qui jouent ici !" Si le créole guadeloupéen a emprunté quelques mots aux langues africaines, amérindiennes et aux autres langues coloniales (anglais et espagnol notamment), la majorité de son lexique provient du français du siècle et d'aujourd'hui. Ces emprunts ont subi une transformation de prononciation avant de s'insérer dans le corpus linguistique du créole guadeloupéen. Cette créolisation perdure de nos jours: quand les mots créoles sont inconnus pour exprimer des idées, on emprunte directement le mot au français en le transformant selon des règles simples ( mais pas toujours applicables ) que voici: Les r: Par exemple, as-tu pris ton gros sac noir?....http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ...

Excerpt:Guadeloupe, an island in the Atlantic Ocean and a French Department, had traditionally been a bone of contention between the French and the British. The British occupied it from 1759 to 1763. In 1763, it was restored to France in exchange for all French rights to Canada. It was finally designated as territory of France through the Treaty of Paris in 1815. It was represented in the French parliament for the first time in 1871. It became a French Department on 19 March 1946. After the abolition of slavery in 1848, to meet a shortfall in labour, over 40,000 workers were brought from India to Guadeloupe to there for work on plantations through an agreement reached between France and Great Britain in 1861. Most of the workers came from the Tamil Nadu region. The importation of Indian labour was gradually discontinued after 1883 as a result of adoption of a policy by the British Government against recruitment of labour in its territories and also because of high mobility of Indian labour. Over 10,000 of them perished as a result of difficult living and working conditions and the rest of them continued to be treated harshly till the efforts of Henri Sidambarom in 1904 gave them some political rights. It was in 1923 that Guadeloupeans of Indian descent were granted citizenship and the right to vote. Since the cessation of migration, the history of the Indian community has been one of steady integration with the rest of the population, to the extent that there are very few Tamil speakers left on the island. However, third or fourth generation persons ...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=9380002 ... Read more

Product Description
Taken from a poem by Niyi Osundare, "Atlantic Cross Currents/Transatlantiques" was the theme of the 1993 meeting of the African Literature Association which was held in Guadeloupe. This term suggested the movement of people, languages, cultures, and ideas, all of the themes that should be highlighted in the ALA’s first meeting in the Caribbean. The year 1993 marked the quincentennial of Colombus’ voyage to Guadeloupe. Rather than engage entrenched notions of "discovery," ALA members were especially mindful of the coerced movement of millions of Africans through the Middle Passage and their forced entry into brutal servitude in the Americas.

The Caribbean has since served as a crucible for major intellectual movements of black resistance and empowerment, from négritude and Pan-Africanism to créolité. Guadeloupe thus seemed to make plain the necessity of conference participants’ reading between the continents to grasp the movement of peoples and cultures not only as an historical reality, but as an ongoing phenomenon that continues to shape the Caribbean and the lands on either side. ...
