Tenets: | Connecting to the personal and to communities outside of academia. Concern with materiality (bodies, labor, not just virtual and discursive). Considering alternative histories and narratives. |
Annotation: | The ECDA has two primary related, overarching goals: the first is to uncover and make accessible a literary history of the Caribbean written or related by Black, enslaved, Creole, indigenous, and/or colonized people. The second is to enable users to understand the colonial nature of the archive and to use the digital archive as a site of revision and remix for exploring ways to decolonize the archive. |
