Originally presented as the author's thesis, Brussels, 1961., 401 p, According to Kesteloot, the three fathers of négritude were Léon Damas (French Guiana), Léopold Senghor (Senegal) and Aimé Césaire (Martinique), who met in Paris in the 1930s and started the movement. Senghor defined negritude as: “the cultural patrimony, the values, and above all the spirit of Negro African civilization.”
