Cet article examine certains des principaux facteurs qui peuvent intervenir comme agents de censure dans la promotion de textes littéraires postcoloniaux. Dans cette analyse de textes antillais, nous dégageons trois facteurs qui expliquent la faible promotion d’une variante particulière de la littérature issue de cette région : l’emplacement de l’écrivain, le thème et la langue de l’oeuvre. Nous nous intéressons tout particulièrement à l’absence de traductions des oeuvres de l’écrivain trinidadien, Earl Lovelace. Nous affirmons que le traducteur littéraire peut intervenir dans un projet collectif visant à corriger ce déséquilibre dans le monde littéraire antillais.Références
