In doing so, it also advances scholarship on Damas (1912–1978) in two ways. On the one hand, it undertakes the crucial and in-depth research needed to challenge the understanding of Négritude as a bipartite (Césaire and Senghor) phenomenon. On the other hand, it offers an innovative reading of Damas whose work deserves more complete consideration than it has received thus far. Reading this essay will illuminate Damas’s works and their relationship to one another, thus demonstrating the continuity of Damasian Négritude.Francopolyphonies ;16.Negritude (Literary movement)Literature, Modern19th centuryHistory and criticismLiterature, Modern20th centuryHistory and criticismNegritude (Literary movement)Literature, ModernHistory and criticism.Literature, ModernHistory and criticism.841Miller F.
