330 .. $a This book follows the wartime escape of thousands of European refugees to Martinique,
and the myriad encounters that resulted. 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 Césaires, 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.
