Written by Aimé Césaire (1913-2008), a Martinican poet, author, and politician. He coined the word negritude in French, which is a framework of critique and literary theory, developed mainly by francophone intellectuals, writers, and politicians of the African diaspora, starting in the 1930s, aimed at raising and cultivating "Black consciousness" across Africa and its diaspora. The first mention of negritude is in his 1939 poem “Notebook of a return to my native land.”
Consuelo Gotay is a Puerto Rican printmaker, typographer and designer, whose limited edition artist books enhance the literary expression of Caribbean poets she works on. Her artistic production demonstrates her command over print art forms such as the silkscreen, the linoleum and the woodcut. Her depictions of the Caribbean landscape represent the native vegetation with elegant, sinuous lines.
