• The first book to examine Guyane from multiple perspectives: combines scholarship by leading experts and new voices in history, anthropology, sociology, linguistics, and comparative literary and cultural studies.
• Takes a truly multilingual and transnational approach, including research conducted in and on French, Portuguese, English, Saamaka, Aluku and Palikur languages, amongst others.
• Crucially updates understandings of a place that is rapidly changing but remains much-misunderstood and largely ignored.

This collection of essays explores historical and conceptual locations of Guyane, as a relational space characterised by dynamics of interaction and conflict. Does Guyane have, or has it had, its own place in the world, or is it a borderland which can only make sense in relation to elsewhere?
