- Description
- This publication translates and assembles in one volume the seven articles Suzanne Césaire (1915-1966) wrote for the cultural journal ‘Tropiques’. Césaire engages anthropology, esthetics, surrealism, history, and poetry as she grapples with questions of power and deception, self-deception, the economic slipknot of a post-slavery debt system, identity and inauthenticity, bad faith, psychological and affective aberration, and cultural zombification. The collection provides a multifaceted portrait of Césaire, and includes short writings from others, including André Breton, André Masson, René Ménil, Daniel Maximin, her husband Aimé Césaire, and daughter, Ina Césaire.
