New generations articulate fresh visions beyond independence/dependence binaries:
Ecological Decolonization
"Climate change shows colonial development models don't work," argues Jessica Oublié, environmental activist. "We need Caribbean solutions based on Indigenous and African knowledge, not French technocracy."
Digital Sovereignty
"Technology offers new autonomy possibilities," states Kevin Martial, tech entrepreneur. "We can build Caribbean platforms, currencies, networks. Digital space has no metropole."
Cultural Production
"When I rap in Creole about our history, I'm creating future memory," says Admiral T, Guadeloupean musician. "Art isn't separate from politics—it shapes consciousness."
