VOICES OF NEGRITUDE IN MODERNIST PRINT

Modernist Latitudes

MODERNIST LATITUDES

Jessica Berman and Paul Saint-Amour, Editors

Modernist Latitudes aims to capture the energy and ferment of modernist studies by continuing to open up the range of forms, locations, temporalities, and theoretical approaches encompassed by the field. The series celebrates the growing latitude (scope for freedom of action or thought) that this broadening affords scholars of modernism, whether they are investigating little-known works or revisiting canonical ones. Modernist Latitudes will pay particular attention to the texts and contexts of those latitudes (Africa, Latin America, Australia, Asia, Southern Europe, and even the rural United States) that have long been misrecognized as ancillary to the canonical modernisms of the global North.

CONTENTS

I would like to express my gratitude to several granting agencies that made it possible for me to finish this book: the American Council of Learned Societies and the National Endowment for the Humanities jointly accorded me an ACLS/SSRC/NEH International and Area Studies Fellowship that released me from teaching during the academic year 20112012; the International Center for Writing and Translation and the Council of Research, Computing and Library Resources at the University of California, Irvine, supported my research trip to Martinique in 2009.

I would also like to thank the librarians and curators who helped me find the materials I needed: Diana Lachatanere and Mary Yearwood at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture; Dominique Taffin at the Archives Dpartementales in Fort-de-France; Dominique Ozonne at the Bibliothque Schoelcher in Fort-de-France; and a devoted librarian at the Archives doutre-mer in Aix-en-Provence. A website is asssociated with this book where readers may find images that these librarians helped me locate: http://faculty.sites.uci.edu/aestheticsubjectivity/. Cecile Gry shared her warm home with me when I was conducting research in the South of France; Brent Hayes Edwards facilitated my research on Lon-Gontran Damas at the Schomburg Center in New York; and Vanessa Agard-Jones provided valuable information for my stay in Fort-de-France.

In Martinique, I was fortunate to befriend Alise Meuris, who took me with her on hikes through the jungle and taught me to identify some of the regions plants. Christian Lapoussinire was generous with his time. Richard and Sally Price offered me a wonderful meal in their beautiful home. I will always be grateful for their welcome and advice.
