The Presses Universitaires de France and Frémeaux & Associés offer this biography of Léopold Sédar Senghor by Elara Bertho, CNRS researcher and specialist in the period of decolonization in West Africa. First African with a grammar degree, poet celebrated around the world, first president of Senegal, academician: Senghor had all the honors. Accused of essentialism for having invented Negritude, of authoritarianism for having imprisoned his opponents, it is difficult today to paint a nuanced portrait of Senghor while doing justice to the great topicality of his poetic and philosophical thought. Yet it is this crest line that Elara Bertho takes, far from hagiography, far from anathemas. How can his thought of the universal and the dialogue of cultures still speak to us? How can his anti-capitalist critique of the Western world resonate with contemporary ecological struggles? Discovering Senghor, one is struck by the modernity of his thought: socialism, negritude, universal, faith, are the key words of this man with a complex discourse, which one must take the time to read and understand.

All New Items on flyvintageandvinyl.com are Priced Below MSRP
and do not reflect our in-store prices and are not necessarily in stock at our physical store.
In fact, most items won’t be because we’re a small, family run business and don’t have space to stock nearly 500,000 new titles.

Separate Shopping Carts for New and Used Items
Because new items available on flyvintageandvinyl.com are fulfilled by our distributor and used items available on used.flyvintageandvinyl.com
(via the “Buy Used” button above) are fulfilled by us at our physical store, they require separate shopping carts and checkout procedures.
It’s a minor inconvenience, but we’ll try to make it worth your while with our selection, ultrasonic-cleaned used records and competitive prices.
Shipping within the U.S. is $5 for the first LP plus 50˘ for each additional LP via USPS Media Mail.
