Though Negritude is considered a sufficient description of what Senghor did and stood for, evidence abounds that both in his more performative thought and his political practices he had effectively sublated Negritude. Negritude was called upon to do vital preparatory work. The dynamics of Senghor's Realpolitical thought and practice were tied up with the colonial/modernity question at the frontier of decolonisation. While his stance on decolonisation dictated his earlier resolutely anti‐nationalist politics, his passion for Africa and obsession with French culture made him an unconditional Francophile and willing neocolonised moderniser
