A Roving "I“ : "Errance" and Identity in Maryse Condé's Traversée de la mangrove Renée Lanier Black political culmre has always been more interested in me relationship of identity to roots and rootedness man in seeing identity as a process of movement and mediation that is more appropriately approached via me homonym routes. Paul Gilroy : Je crois que maintenant c'est l'errance qui amène la créativité. Maryse Condé. ÉDOUARD GLISSANT, Patrick Chamoiseau and Raphaël Confiant, and Betty Wilson all have, in some way, linked closed spaces to the Caribbean and its literature. Glissant characterizes the plantation as a "lieu clos" from which emerges "la parole ouverte" in Poétique de la Relation / In Lettres créoles Chamoiseau and Confiant evoke the hold of the slave ship from which "les gémissements, les pleurs, les incantations magiques ou les rôles d'agonie" emanated, followed by the silence of the plantation, and the sole voice of the "conteur." Wilson's "espace clos" is the island itself from which women characters flee.
