Many of the chapters in this volume were first presented at a conference organized by the Winthrop-King Institute for Contemporary French and Francophone Studies at Florida State University in February 2010. We thank Alec Hargreaves for his generous support, Anthony Cond, David Murphy and Charles Forsdick for their interest in and enthusiasm for this project, and Teresa Bridgeman for her excellent translation work. We dedicate this volume to the memory of Édouard Glissant (1928–2011), whose work has inspired a great number of the essays in this book.
