Césaire, Aimé 1913–

Césaire is a West Indian poet, playwright, essayist, and editor who writes in French. His first work, Return to My Native Land, passionately presents his continuing theme—the demoralizing effect of colonialism. He and Léopold Sédar Senghor are credited with formulating the theories establishing négritude as a literary movement. (See also Contemporary Authors, Vols. 65-68.)
