In 1932, at the peak of French colonialism, a group of Martiniquan students at the Sorbonne established a Caribbean Surrealist Group, and published a single issue of a journal called L???gitime d???fense . Immediately banned by the authorities, it passed almost unnoticed at the time. Yet it began a remarkable series of debates between surrealism and Caribbean intellectuals that had a profound impact on the struggle for cultural identity. In the next two decades these exchanges greatly influenced the evolution of the concept of negritude, initiated revolution in Haiti in 1946, and crucially affected the development of surrealism itself. This fascinating book presents a series of key texts--most of them never before translated into English--which reveal the complexity of this relationship between black anti-colonialist movements in the Caribbean and the most radical of the European avant-gardes. Included are Ren??? M???nil's subtle philosophical essays and the fierce polemics of Aim??? and Suzanne C???saire, appreciations of surrealism by Haitian writers, lyrical evocations of the Caribbean by Andr??? Breton and Andr??? Masson, and rich explorations of Haiti and voodoo religion by Pierre Mabille and Michel Leiris.
