Negritude Movement
This collection of portraits, poetry, and essays is an examination of cultural identity and self awareness of El Negrito.
“I listen to everything from Bach to Lil’ Wayne, and it doesn’t make me more or less Black,” said El Negrito as he spoke about his upcoming performance entitled Negritude Movement, in which he will explore the dichotomy of personality and identity.
The performance "Negritude Movement" is inspired by the literary and ideological movement, developed by francophone Black intellectuals, writers, and politicians in France in the 1930s.
The Négritude writers found solidarity in a common identity. They believed that the shared Black heritage of members of the African diaspora was the best tool in fighting against political and intellectual hegemony and domination. They formed a realistic literary style and formulated their Marxist ideas as part of this movement.
