Résumé
This paper analyses the decolonizing dimension of the reconnection of Caribbean and Caribbean-Canadian characters to Caribbean landscapes, their cultural affiliation to Canadian landscapes as well as their physical bonding to them in three Caribbean-Canadian novels of the new millennium. Grounded in Caribbean and Canadian ecocriticism, it argues that in these texts landscape writing serves to delineate the features of a Caribbean-Canadian identity in which Caribbeanness is repaired and Canadianness acknowledged and legitimized.
