by A. James Arnold · 1981

+ Want to read

James Arnold here presents in its political and culture context the work of the greatest visionary poet writing in French since the Romantic period. Aimé Césaire's surrealism is seen as subverting, in the name of black experience, the very European high moderism he assimilated and employed. — Amazon.com.
