Synopsis
A landmark of the Négritude movement, this expansive poem traces Aimé Césaire's journey from alienation and despair to a fierce reclamation of his identity as a Black man in a colonized world. Moving through surrealist imagery and militant rhetoric, it confronts the legacy of slavery and colonialism while affirming the power of African heritage and the Caribbean experience.
