Negrismo Y Negritude: Dos Poeticas De La Identidad Afro Caribena

Resumen del Libro

Negritude, on the other hand, appeared in a different linguistic zone. In contrast to Negrismo in the Hispanic Caribbean, Negritude came into being in France at the beginning of the 1930s through the work of a dynamic group of African and Caribbean students who went to France to study at the universities and other institutions of higher learning. The group consisted of a very dynamic triumvirate: Aime Cesaire, Leopold Senghor, and Leon Gontran Damas whose writings reasserted the vitality of African civilization. These are the most well-known, however, women writers like Suzanne Cesaire and Jane Nardal who have largely been forgotten by todays critics, had a strong influence on this movement. They participated in journals such as La Revue du Monde Noir (Review of Black World) which promoted the intellectual coming-of-age of Cesaire, Damas, and Senghor.
