FRN 307 - Negritude Movement: Point of Departure in Black African and Afro-Caribbean Literatures in French

Course Units: 1

(Not offered 2013-14) This study of the Black diaspora in French in the 1930s examines a variety of political and literary strategies developed in reaction to French colonial policies before the era of official independences. We consider authors such as Cesaire, Damas, Senghor, Fanon, and Sartre to better understand how these writers represent influences on the literatures of decolonization and post-colonial identity.
