Education Resources

Authorship and knowledge production in and about the African Diaspora are important themes in the novel Texaco by Patrick Chamoiseau. The Texaco Wiki is a tool for both studying practices of knowledge production and intervening in the digital archive toward a more equitable version of history. The resources collected here are intended to support college and university instructors who want to use the Texaco Wiki with undergraduate students.
