Quote by Édouard Glissant: “The world is moving towards a creolization that is unforeseeable and irreversible.”

Glissant posits that global cultures are inevitably mixing and blending in complex ways, creating new identities and forms that cannot be predicted or undone. This process is about constant cultural fusion.

As the world grappled with the end of the Cold War and the rise of globalization, Glissant's work offered a critical framework for understanding cultural exchange and identity beyond traditional nation-state boundaries, rooted in Caribbean experience.

Martinican philosopher, novelist, and poet whose concept of 'Creolization' theorized Caribbean and global cultural identity as perpetually mixing and transforming. His 1990 work Poetics of Relation reshaped postcolonial and world literature theory.
