Abstract

In the Antillean Caribbean, its history is one of the phenomena that mobilizes greater attention. The proposed paper addresses the problem of how decolonial historiographic traditions are constructed during the second half of the 20th century. The objective of the paper is to identify themes, theoretical-conceptual and methodological proposals of the decolonial historiography of the Antillean Caribbean. The research does not have a unique method: it is interpretative, inductive, multimethodical and reflexive. The techniques will be interrogation, documentary analysis, critical and annotated review of bibliography and documents - from scientific and general publications, and content analysis. We will analyze the most treated themes in the decolonial historiographic turn of the Caribbean. Then, the theoretical proposals and concepts contributed by the historiographic tradition will be defined. The main results are a series of theoretical proposals such as epistemic decolonization, independent thought, negritude, Creolization/creolité, transculturation, mimesis of the colonized, Antilleanity, among others.
