Éduard Glissant, poet, novelist and essayist from Guadeloupe, (French Antilles) devoted himself to studying the Carribean identity which carries theinscriptions of rootlessness and displacement and is haunted by the ghostly images of "negro boat", a slave ship that brought captured Africans to the Carribean shores from diff erent parts of Africa. As these people had no common culture, they had no common founding myth either. Their rhizome identity developed later in an enclosed place, which happens to be a place of a large number of possibilities. Such a place is a plantation. The phenomenon known as creolisation is not a consequence of crossbreeding but unplanned mixing. Within this context and by drawing on the works of Deleuze and Guattari Éduard Glissant introduces the notion of Poetics of Relation, which establishes a different relation to the other. This is a relation that no longer builds or for that matter depends on the hierachical relationship between the ruler and the ruled but rests upon a new concept of tolerance and intolerance.
