négritude

Négritude is a literary, primarily poetic, movement that emerged in Paris in the 1930s. Its main proponents were Aimé Césaire (from Martinique), who coined the word Négritude and gave the movement its masterpiece, Return to My Native Land (1939); Léopold Sédar Senghor (from Senegal), who defined and theorized Négritude as the sum-total of the cultural values and expressions of the black world; and Léon Gontran Damas (from Guyana), who in 1937 published the first book of Négritude poetry, Pigments, which was quickly banned by the French government because of its unapologetic challenge to French colonialism.
