Jean-Claude Michel: The Black Surrealists (2000)

“In their rebellion against Western civilization, the European surrealists contested their own society, of which, black surrealists were subjected to even harsher and shared the same dreadful racial memory of the slaveship. Black surrealists would strive to completely eradicate this hostile society by means of art, words, and metaphors.”

First published as Ecrivains noirs et le surréalisme, Naaman, Sherbrooke/Québec, 1982. Based on author’s 1979 dissertation from University of Michigan.
