Négritude

Négritude is a literary and cultural movement that emerged in the 1930s among Black writers and intellectuals from French-speaking Africa and the Caribbean. It celebrates Black identity, heritage, and culture, emphasizing pride in African roots and rejecting colonial stereotypes. The movement aims to foster a sense of dignity and solidarity among people of African descent, promoting the recognition of their contributions and unique cultural expressions. Négritude seeks to challenge racism and cultural alienation by affirming Black identity as valuable and powerful within a global context.
