Léopold Sédar Senghor: Négritude or Servitude?

1971 · by Marcien Towa

Critique of Senghor’s Négritude: by opposing African emotion to European reason, Senghor accepts the colonial image of the African and turns subjection into an identity; a liberating thought would have to reject servitude instead of celebrating difference.
