Césaire's Negritude
Freedom Time: Negritude, Decolonization, and the Future of the World, written by Gary Wilder
CÃ(c)saire is Dead: Long Live CÃ(c)saire! Recuperations and Reparations
Events surrounding Aimé Césaire's funeral in Martinique (April 2008) brought to the fore a number of unresolved contradictions that have swirled around his literary production, as well as his political legacy, for decades. Did Césaire really mean to speak for a culturally and historically determined group of dispossessed colonials and former colonials, as he often stated from the 1960s onward? Or did he intend to appeal to a biologically determin…
Forty Years with Césaire, 1968-2008
In a no-holds-barred review of his participation in the ongoing interpretation of Aimé Césaire's poetry and its relationship to the changing face of identity politics in France, the French West Indies, and the United States, the author highlights some particularly significant moments: Black Power and Black Nationalism at the end of the 1960s and into the '70s; the political monumentalization of Césaire in Martinique between the late 1970s and his…

C saire's Notebook as Palimpsest: The Text before, during, and after World War II
No other text among Aimé Césaire's works was destined to have greater influence than the Cahier d'un retour au pays natal / Notebook of a Return to the Native Land. If we accept the date of 1939, when the pre-original text appeared in the Paris review Volontés, the Cahier/ Notebook inaugurates his published works as well. This is then a fitting moment, during the celebration of the great poet's ninetieth birthday, for us to take a fresh look at t…
