Sex, Sea, and Self - Sexuality and Nationalism in French Caribbean Discourses, 1924-1948

Sex, Sea, and Self is a timely and original contribution to French Caribbean studies that expands scholarly work on Caribbean thought, which does not start with Aimé Césaire's Négritude or Frantz Fanon's disalienation and the creation of a new humanity, but with overlooked yet pivotal texts written between 1924-1948.
