Leopold Sedar Senghor was not only president of the Republic of
Senegal from 1960 to 1981, he is also Africa's most famous poet. A
cofounder of the Negritude cultural movement, he is recognized as
one of the most significant figures in African literature. This
bilingual edition of Senghor's complete poems made his work
available for the first time to English-speaking audiences. His
poetry, alive with sensual imagery, contrasts the lushness and
wonder of Africa's past with the alienation and loss associated
with assimilation into European culture. Translator Melvin Dixon
places Senghor's writing in historical persepctive by relating it
to both his political involvement and his intellectual
development.
