Main Article Content
Abstract
This article presents an analysis of the review Légitime Défense, created in 1932 by a group of Martinican students in Paris. It stems from their affection by the surrealists and Marxists debates, as factors of maximization of anticolonial critics and modulators of new esthetic and political sensibilities. Created in a context of “black internationalism” and on-site debates with these European vanguards, Légitime Défense inaugurates at once black and Antillean surrealism by producing an anticolonialist discourse from the Martinican case, which is in the origins of the first debates of identity in this Caribbean island.
