Aphrodiasporic landscapes in Notebook of a Return to the Native Land by Aimé Césaire

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to investigate in Aphrodiasporic landscapes in Notebook of a Return to the Native Land by Aimé Césaire (1939), a fundamental poem by the Martinican poet Aimé Césaire, the configuration of the Aphrodiasporic landscapes. The long poem, written in free verse poems, is one of the milestones of the political, aesthetic, cultural and ideological movement of Negritude, launched in Paris in the 1930s, but which brings together in its core various cultural manifestations of the Black Diaspora, such as the Harlem Renaissance, emerged in the United States in the 1920s, the Indigenism of Haitian literature, of the same decade, and Cuban Negrismo of the 1930s.
