Creolization
HISTORY, ETHNOGRAPHY, THEORY
Charles Stewart, Editor
The term “Creolization” is used to evoke cultural fusion and the emergence of
new cultures across the globe. However, it has been under-theorized and tends
to be used as a simple synonym for “mixture” or “hybridity.” In this volume, by
contrast, renowned scholars give the term historical and theoretical specificity
by examining the different domains and circumstances in which the process
takes place, uncovering a remarkable history and re-opening the term for new
theoretical use.
“As we try to grasp the organization of human diversity, globally

as well as in varied regional contexts, creole concepts have been good to think with–in
different and sometimes conflicting directions. Read this book, and you will have a
very clear idea of the perspectives and the controversies!”

the on-going debates around the meaning of creolization. Bringing together contributions by scholars in anthropology, history, linguistics and literary theory, it provides
both new empirical studies and fresh theoretical insights on some of the most pressing
questions of identity facing us today.” –MEGAN VAUGHAN, CAMBRIDGE UNIV.
“At last, a brave collection of essays on creolization. Framed
by a skillful, remarkably even-handed introduction, the volume addresses the rich and
controversial histories of the construct, and pushes valiantly to disentangle it from
related terms, often used as synonyms, such as hybridity, globalization, transnationalism and transculturation. Best of all, the volume seeks out an exciting array of critical
voices, both recent and long-standing, in its presentation of debates about cultural
and linguistic mixture. It is sure to become a touch-stone work on these thorny but
urgent subjects in anthropology, history, sociology, linguistics, comparative literature
and cultural studies, as well as in the many vaster conversations now taking place
across disciplines.” –JANET HART, UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN, ANN ARBOR
“This fine set of essays offers the first systematic effort to
historicize the term ‘creolization’ and the processes it names, as well as assessing the
term’s usefulness for contemporary cultural theory. Readers will find vigorous debate
between the participating authors, who by no means adhere to a single editorial line,
allowing their differences of approach and emphasis to illuminate just what is at
stake. This is a really valuable collection of essays, sure to become the first reference
point for discussion of creolization.” –PETER HULME, UNIVERSITY OF ESSEX
