Cahier d’un voyage autour du Cahier

Abstract

This contribution is partly a personal reflection on the translation of the Cahier d’un retour au pays natal, a key text of Caribbean literature that is in a constant state of flux – because of the different versions published by Césaire, as well its translations – and a travel journal of a research that is itself in a state of flux, between the islands and the words of the poets of the Caribbean archipelago.
