Abstract
Interorality is a new but certainly welcomed lens through which Caribbean philosophy can further its ongoing tasks of self-reflection and postcolonial reconstruction. This new concept was introduced to the field of Caribbean Studies by HanethaVete-Congolo, a literary and culture scholar from Martinique. She developed it during the course of her work on Caribbean folktales and their genesis in the mixing of African and European folktales. Caribbean folktales are a part of a larger oral tradition, and so were many of the African and European folktales from which the Caribbean ones drew. Thus, Vete-Congolo’s study of Caribbean folktales raises not only the question of orality but also of interorality as a part of a larger process of hybridization and creolization.
