Aime Cesaire is arguably the best-known poet in the French
Caribbean. His poetry and drama have established his formidable
reputation as the leading francophone poet and elder statesman of
the twentieth century. In this study Gregson Davis examines the
evolution of Cesaire's poetic career and his involvement with many
of the most seminal political and aesthetic movements of the
twentieth century. Davis relates Cesaire's extraordinary dual
career as writer and elected politician to the recurrent themes in
his writings. As one of the most profound critics of colonialism,
Cesaire, the acknowledged inventor of the famous term 'negritude',
has been a hugely influential figure in shaping the contemporary
discourse on the postcolonial predicament. Gregson Davis's account
of Cesaire's intellectual growth is grounded in a careful reading
of the poetry, prose and drama that illustrates the full range and
depth of his literary achievement.
