{"product_id":"aime-cesaire-jane-hiddleston-9781509549771","title":"Aime Cesaire","description":"Aimé Césaire is arguably the greatest Caribbean literary writer in history. Best known for his incendiary epic poem Notebook of a Return to My Native Land, Césaire reinvented black culture by conceiving 'négritude' as a dynamic and continuous process of self-creation.    In this essential new account of his life and work, Jane Hiddleston introduces readers to Césaire's unique poetic voice and to his role as a figurehead for intellectuals pursuing freedom and equality for black people. Césaire was deeply immersed in the political life of his native Martinique for over fifty years: as Mayor of Fort-de-France and Deputy at the French National Assembly, he called for the liberation of oppressed people at home and abroad, while celebrating black creativity and self-invention to resist a history of racism.    Césaire's extraordinary life reminds us that the much-needed revolt against oppression and subjugation can—and should—come from within the establishment, as well as without.","brand":"John Wiley and Sons Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51161390874912,"sku":"9781509549771","price":51.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9781509549771.jpg?v=1781556738","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/aime-cesaire-jane-hiddleston-9781509549771","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
