Evidence

But we need to figure out whether or not there are other succulencies of Relation in other parts of the world (and already at work in an underground manner) that will suddenly open up other avenues and soon help to correct whatever simplifying, ethnocentric exclusions may have arisen from such a perspective. — Édouard Glissant, Poetics of Relation, 165

Categorization

• QUESTION: This tentativeness marks Glissant’s self-correcting openness about the West Indies’ exemplarity — useful caution for treating creolization as the universal mechanism.
