Return to My Native Land
'The undisputed masterpiece of négritude and a poetic milestone of anti-colonialism' Guardian<BR><BR>'We shall speak. We shall sing. We shall shout.'<BR><BR>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.<BR><BR>'Nothing less than the greatest lyrical monument of this time' André Breton<BR><BR>'A Césaire poem explodes and whirls about itself like a rocket, suns burst forth whirling and exploding' Jean-Paul Sartre<BR><BR>'The most influential Francophone Caribbean writer of his generation' Independent<BR><BR>Translated by John Berger and Anna Bostock
