I wish to thank all members of the L who have so far contributed to the discussions of the above subject. Please keep up the spirit as the different perspectives are very educative and enriching to our respective knowledge about the life of the late Leopold Sedar Senghore. One insight into the man that i managed to read from your postings was Seng was that kind of a leader who was trying desperately to be at ease with both his people and their former subjugators. Was he unique for this approach among Afican leaders? and the extent to which he succeeded in living according to his concept of negritude remains to be clarified. What did negritude define as the relationship between Africans and peoples of African descent in our rlationship with the former colonial powers? or was negritude silent on this? Please refer me to any wwwsite or source that might help, just eager to learn. The yoke of oppression must be shattered!
