Landscape & Memory: Martinican Land-people-history

Martinican writers confront France’s colonial legacy by examining the remapping of land, memory, and identity in the French West Indies.
Genre : Documentary
Contemporary Issues : Decolonization
Landscape & Memory: Martinican Land-people-history

In LANDSCAPE AND MEMORY, the French West Indies most renowned identity theoreticians Jean Bernabe, Patrick Chamoiseau and Raphael Confiant investigate the different ways in which France, as a colonial power, marks colonized lands and peoples. Importantly, this is one of the few films about Martinique that adopts a Martinican perspective on France’s overwhelming and continued colonial and cultural presence. The Martinican writers ask how, in a country like Martinique, does a colonial power “re-map” space and land? How does it “re-map” a people’s memories and identities? And can one resist this mapping?
