This previously untold story speaks to many contemporary concerns, including migration, cultural trends, resistance, encounter, ethnicity and identity, migration and diaspora. The roughly five thousand refugees at the heart of this book, who streamed from Marseille to Martinique in 1940-41 comprised Spanish Republicans, anti-Nazi Germans, Jews, and political and intellectual dissidents of various stripes. Most were wanted by the Nazis. Their desperate quest to reach the Western Hemisphere led them into the limbo of Vichy-controlled Martinique, which for visa related reasons proved easier to reach than New York. There, many forged lasting ties, amongst each other, but also with leading local dissidents, be they Gaullists or young thinkers like the CeÌsaires, articulating their own vision of Blackness at this very time. The book explores the intellectual and artistic convergences that this encounter elicited between Negritude and Surrealism, while bringing to life the particular context of wartime Martinique.-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Undesirables -- Opening the Martinique corridor -- Understanding the Martinique route -- The crossings -- Wartime Martinique -- Snake charmers in a viper's nest -- Surrealism meets Negritude -- The window closes. 611 27 $a World War (1939-1945) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01180924 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Refugees $z Martinique. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $z Marseille. $z Marseille. 651 0 $a Martinique $x Intellectual life $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Political refugees $z Martinique $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Political refugees $z Europe $x History $y 20th century. 650 7 $a Intellectual life. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00975769 650 7 $a Political refugees. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01069678 650 7 $a Refugees. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01092797 651 7 $a Europe. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01245064 651 7 $a France $z Marseille. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01206417 651 7 $a Martinique. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01207564 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20180502012415.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=45D83FC44DCE11E89F5D1D5C97128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
