The Black Diaspora: Negritude in the Poetry of West Africans and Black Americans

Valenti, Suzanne

Phylon, 34, 4, 390-398, Dec 73

Negritude begins with a recognition, a consciousness of blackness, then proceeds to an acceptance in which blackness is praised; the qualities of blacks are elaborated; a heritage is created; the plight of blacks is described and white values and civilization are belittled. (Author/JM)
