Fabienne Viala is Associate Professor of Hispanic and Caribbean Studies at the University of Warwick, UK.
“In The Post-Columbus Syndrome, Fabienne Viala takes the reader on
a tour de force of the Caribbean’s history, politics and art, using
the 500th anniversary of Columbus’s arrival in the Americas as its
focal point of analysis. … The book’s seamless flow through several
art forms and genres constitutes one of its greatest merits: the
reader engages with Haitian novels, theatre in Martinique, Jamaican
dub poetry and performative arts in Puerto Rico, amongst others.”
