'We shall speak. We shall sing. We shall shout.' This blazing
autobiographical poem by the founder of the négritude movement
became a rallying cry for decolonisation when it appeared in 1939.
Following one man's return from Europe to his homeland of
Martinique, it is a reckoning with the trauma of slavery and
exploitation, and a triumphant anthem for Black identity, one which
reclaims and remakes language itself. 'Nothing less than the
greatest lyrical monument of this time' André Breton 'A Césaire
poem explodes and whirls about itself like a rocket, suns burst
forth whirling and exploding' Jean-Paul Sartre 'The most
influential Francophone Caribbean writer of his generation'
