Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"[Cesaire's] writing bursts with intelligence, fervor and conviction. In her essays Leo Frobenius and the Problems of Civilizations, Alain and Esthetics, Andre Breton, Poet, and 1943: Surrealism and Us, she mobilizes anthropology, philosophy, and poetry to awaken global black consciousness, resistance, and liberation..."--Gabrielle Civil, Rain Taxi"This is the first work to translate C saire's essays in their entirety and to collect them in a single volume. As such, it is a welcome addition to the study of early 20th century Francophone Caribbean women's writing. The translation is both eloquent and accurate, which is quite an accomplishment given the complexity of C saire's writing."--Jennifer Wilks, author of Race, Gender, and Comparative Black Modernism

Reseña del editor:

The Great Camouflage translates and assembles in one volume the seven articles Suzanne Cesaire wrote for the cultural journal Tropiques. Cesaire 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. All are caught in the web of "the great camouflage." The collection provides a multifaceted portrait of Cesaire, and includes short writings from others who wrote passionately about her, including Andre Breton, Andre Masson, Rene Menil, Daniel Maximin, and her husband Aime Cesaire and daughter,Ina Cesaire.
