Description
Published in 1996, this collection presents key texts that reveal the complex relationship between black anti-colonialist movements in the Caribbean and radical European avant-gardes.
The journal Légitime défense, established by a group of Martiniquan students at the Sorbonne in 1932, played a significant role in shaping debates between surrealism and Caribbean intellectuals. This book brings together previously untranslated texts that showcase the impact of these exchanges on the struggle for cultural identity.
Includes works by René Ménil, Aimé and Suzanne Césaire, André Breton, André Masson, Pierre Mabille, Michel Leiris, and others, offering a unique insight into the intersection of black anti-colonialism and surrealism in the Caribbean during the 20th century.
