Here, Khal Torabully introduces the concept of "Coolitude," echoing Aimé Césaire's "Negritude" to imbue the term with profound dignity, pride, and a resilient cultural identity. Stating that ordinary language could not capture these diverse voices, Torabully develops a new "poetics of Coolitude": a French peppered with Mauritian Creole, brilliant wordplay, and neologisms.The humor in these linguistic acrobatics only underscores the violence in which these poems are steeped. Deftly translated by Nancy Naomi Carlson, Cargo Hold of Stars is the song of an uprooting, destruction, and reconstruction.

Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. Cargo Hold of Stars is an ode to the forgotten voyage of a forgotten people. Khal Torabully gives voice to the millions of indentured men and women, mostly from India and China, who were brought to Mauritius between 1849 and 1923. Many were transported overseas to other European colonies. Kept in close quarters in the ships cargo hold, many died. Most never returned home. With Cargo Hold of Stars, Torabully introduces the concept of Coolitude in a way that echoes Aime Cesaires term Negritude, imbuing the term with dignity and pride, as well as a strong and resilient cultural identity and language. Stating that ordinary language was not equipped to bring to life the diverse voices of indenture, Torabully has developed a poetics of Coolitude: a new French, peppered with Mauritian Creole, wordplay, and neologismsand always musical. The humor in these linguistic acrobatics serves to underscore the violence in which his poems are steeped.
