The Negritude Movement provides readers with not only an
intellectual history of the Negritude Movement but also its
prehistory (W.E.B. Du Bois, the New Negro Movement, and the Harlem
Renaissance) and its posthistory (Frantz Fanon and the evolution of
Fanonism). By viewing Negritude as an "insurgent idea" (to invoke
this book's intentionally incendiary subtitle), as opposed to
merely a form of poetics and aesthetics, The Negritude Movement
explores Negritude as a "traveling theory" (a la Edward Said's
concept) that consistently crisscrossed the Atlantic Ocean in the
twentieth century: from Harlem to Haiti, Haiti to Paris, Paris to
Martinique, Martinique to Senegal, and on and on ad infinitum. The
Negritude Movement maps the movements of proto-Negritude concepts
from Du Bois's discourse in The Souls of Black Folk through to
post-Negritude concepts in Fanon's Black Skin, White Masks and The
Wretched of the Earth. Utilizing Negritude as a conceptual
framework to, on the one hand, explore the Africana intellectual
tradition in the twentieth century, and, on the other hand,
demonstrate discursive continuity between Du Bois and Fanon, as
well as the Harlem Renaissance and Negritude Movement, The
Negritude Movement ultimately accents what Negritude contributed to
arguably its greatest intellectual heir, Frantz Fanon, and the
development of his distinct critical theory, Fanonism. Rabaka
argues that if Fanon and Fanonism remain relevant in the
twenty-first century, then, to a certain extent, Negritude remains
relevant in the twenty-first century.
