• Resumen

  • This paper describes the material archives of the history of Guadeloupe and some of the ways they have been constituted through the history of the island, as well as the social and political forces that shape both the structure and the use of these archives. It examines how novelists have made archives of a different sort part of their literary work in the quest for the production of histories for the present of Guadeloupe. Finally, it draws on my own historical research to suggest the ways in which the "silences" of the material archives have in some ways been overdrawn by such novelists. In general terms the article aims to contribute to a more sustained discussion between the various groups who take it upon themselves to narrate the past in the French Caribbean.
