A black poet and politician from Martinique in the West Indies. He was forced to adopt the culture of his colonial homeland, France, and "had his thoughts engulfed in the language of the white man" (Sartre). During his time studying in Paris from 1931 to 1939, he met the African Senghor, and discovered his own inner "negritude" (blackness), which he attempted to liberate through poetic language. His works include the long poem "Notes on the Return to the Fatherland" (1939), the collection of poems "The Miraculous Weapon" (1946), and the plays "A Season in the Congo" (1967) and " Moi, laminaire... " (1982). In 1945, he became mayor of Fort-de-France, the capital city of Martinique. He initially belonged to the Communist Party and promoted assimilation into the mother country, but left the party in 1956 and formed the Martinique Progressive Party in 1958, after which he adopted the banner of autonomy. He served as mayor for over 50 years, until 2001.

西インド諸島マルティニーク島の黒人詩人、政治家。植民地本国フランスの文化を強要され「白人のことばによって思考を飲み込まされた」(サルトル)彼は、1931~1939年のパリ留学時代にアフリカ人サンゴールと出会い、自己の内なる「ネグリチュード」(黒人性)を発見、詩的言語を通してこれを解き放そうとする。長編詩『祖国復帰ノート』(1939)、詩集『奇跡の武器』(1946)、戯曲『コンゴの一季節』(1967)、『Moi, laminaire……』(1982)がある。1945年にマルティニーク島の中心都市フォール・ド・フランスの市長となる。当初は共産党に属し、本国への同化を推進したが、1956年離党、1958年マルティニーク進歩党を結成して以降は自治を旗印とする。2001年まで50年以上にわたり市長を務めた。 [海老坂武] 『マリーズ・コンデ著、三浦信孝編訳『越境するクレオール マリーズ・コンデ講演集』(2001・岩波書店)』▽『エメ・セゼール著、砂野幸稔訳『帰郷ノート 植民地主義論』(平凡社ライブラリー)』 [参照項目] | | | |出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
