The project of this thesis is to demonstrate how Boukman's blends Marxist literary theory with a Caribbean aesthetics. The work also seeks to show that the artist's devices and practices advance a Caribbean worldview and a Caribbean programme of combating colonialism. Finally, it seeks to demonstrate that Boukman "writes back" to Europe through parody, inversion and reversal.
The thesis analyses three dramatic works by Daniel Boukman - {Les négriers} (1978); {Ventres pleins, ventres creux} (1971) and {Chants pour hâter le temps de la mort des Orphée}, 1968 - against the background of both Marxist and Caribbean literary theory.
