Film Image
Language French In Part 1, L’ile Veilleuse (The Vigilant Island) Césaire shows us his pays natale, its volcano, beaches, and colonial towns, a tropical crossroads where Europe, Africa, and America meet. From this curltural vertex, Césaire, his wife Suzanne, and the philosopher Réne Menil founded in 1939 the seminal literary review, Tropiques. This journal influenced Caribbean intellectuals like artist Wifredo Lam, writer René Depestre, and revolutionary theorist, Frantz Fanon.
