Abstract

The fundamental axis of this article consists of the exploration of French-speaking West Indian literary production, based on the structures specific to the concept of decolonial. This work aims to suggest an intercultural and polyphonic dialogue between the characteristics of West Indian literature in French and the vision of decolonial studies developed —in the 20th and 21st centuries— in Latin America.
