In Ormerod, his last novel, Glissant rewrites Martinique’s history from colonization to contemporary, intertwining it with nowadays world process of creolization. Slavery, rebellions, plantations, become “global” events which concentrate and irradiate themselves in different spaces, times and moments. History’s rewriting also passes through the rewriting of the utopia genre as a chaotic accumulation of elements.
