In so doing, it challenges conventional thinking about the relationship between tourism and development.

The Negritude movement, which signaled the awakening of a pan-African consciousness among black French intellectuals, has been understood almost exclusively in terms of the contributions of its male founders: Aimé Césaire, Léopold Sédar Senghor, and Léon G. Damas. This masculine genealogy has completely overshadowed the central role played by French-speaking black women in its creation and evolution. In Negritude Women, T. Denean Sharpley-Whiting offers a long-overdue corrective, revealing the contributions made by four women-Suzanne Lacascade, Jane and Paulette Nardal, and Suzanne Roussy

This volume brings together ten key essays in the development of black feminism. The selections reflect the literary, social, and political critiques that mark this form of feminist and antiracist thought as unique and transformative. Addressing key themes within cultural and social theory, such as the intersections of gender, sex, race, class, and ideology, the analyses encourage critical thinking about language, culture, and democracy. Organized into two parts, "Literary Theory" and "Social and Political Theory," this Reader explores issues of community, identity, justice, and the marginal
