The first bilingual edition of this radically original work AimÃ© CÃ©saire's masterpiece, Notebook of a Return to the Native Land, is a work of immense cultural significance and beauty. This long poem was the beginning of CÃ©saire's quest for nÃ©gritude, and it became an anthem of Blacks around the world. Commentary on CÃ©saire's work has often focused on its Cold War and anticolonialist rhetoricâ€”material that CÃ©saire only added in 1956. The original 1939 version of the poem, given here in French, and in its first English translation, reveals a work that is both spiritual and cultural in structure, tone, and thrust. This Wesleyan edition includes the original illustrations by Wifredo Lam, and an introduction, notes, and chronology by A. James Arnold.
