''The undisputed masterpiece of n©gritude and a poetic milestone of anti-colonialism'' Guardian

''We shall speak. We shall sing. We shall shout.''

This blazing autobiographical poem by the founder of the n©gritude 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.

''Nothing less than the greatest lyrical monument of this time'' Andr© Breton

''A C©saire poem explodes and whirls about itself like a rocket, suns burst forth whirling and exploding'' Jean-Paul Sartre

''The most influential Francophone Caribbean writer of his generation'' Independent

Translated by John Berger and Anna Bostock
