Créolité is a cultural and literary movement that emerged in the Caribbean, particularly in Martinique and Guadeloupe, during the 1980s. It emphasizes the unique identity and experiences of Creole people, blending African, European, and indigenous influences. The movement seeks to celebrate and preserve the Creole language, traditions, and cultural expressions that define the Caribbean experience. The term "Créolité" was popularized by writers such as Édouard Glissant and Patrick Chamoiseau, who advocated for a distinct Caribbean identity that resists colonial narratives. This movement encourages the exploration of local history, folklore, and the complexities of post-colonial life, fostering a sense of pride in Creole heritage.
