Patrick Chamoiseau (Martinique)

The commitment of Patrick Chamoiseau (1953, Fort de France, Martinique) to the Caribbean society of which he is part goes further than his literary work. He is a pioneer of the Créolité Movement; using an innovative, creolised French, he is the narrator of Creole history. Together with other intellectuals in Martinique he is creating a museum for Creole art.
