Abstract

Négritude exists as a critical framework for analyzing the interactions between black and non-black Francophone intellectuals. It originated as a cultural movement that swept through the African diaspora as an affirmation of the value of blackness. This renaissance paved the way for this anthology to discuss issues of heritage, culture, identity and self-worth. "Negritudes” continues the work done on black consciousness through a combination of critical theory and poetry.
