The undisputed masterpiece of négritude and a poetic milestone of anti-colonialism, "We Shall Speak. We Shall Sing. We Shall Shout" is a blazing autobiographical poem by the founder of the négritude movement, Aimé Césaire. Published in 1939, it became a rallying cry for decolonisation following one man's return from Europe to his homeland of Martinique. It is a reckoning with the trauma of slavery and exploitation and a triumphant anthem for Black identity, which reclaims and remakes language itself.
Nothing less than the greatest lyrical monument of this time, "We Shall Speak. We Shall Sing. We Shall Shout" is a masterpiece of French literature that explodes and whirls about itself like a rocket, with suns bursting forth whirling and exploding.
Translated by John Berger and Anna Bostock, "We Shall Speak. We Shall Sing. We Shall Shout" is the most influential Francophone Caribbean writer of his generation. It is a testament to the power of language to shape our understanding of the world and to inspire us to action.
