In this podcast episode, we delve into the life and influence of Aimé Césaire, a pioneering intellectual from Martinique who played a pivotal role in the Negritude movement. This movement aimed to reclaim the cultural identity and values of Africans. We explore Césaire's political journey, which led to Martinique's decolonisation through departmentalisation, his critique of French imperialism, and his impact on other significant movements.

We grapple with the history of revolutionary movements, the enduring effects of colonialism on cultural identity, and the relevance of Afrocentric literature in today's society. We also examine the challenges faced by the Black Panthers, the history of segregation in the United States, and the influence of information and misinformation in our current climate. Challenging established narratives we examine the lasting impact of colonialism, the power dynamics that mould African culture, and the significance of embracing and highlighting our cultural identity.
