What is the  Négritude Movement in Postcolonialism?
Négritude is a framework of critique and literary theory, developed mainly by francophone intellectuals, writers, and politicians of the African diaspora during the 1930s, aimed at raising and cultivating "Black consciousness" across Africa and its diaspora. Négritude was founded by Martinican poet Aimé Césaire, Léopold Sédar Senghor (the first President of Senegal), and Léon Damas of French Guiana. Négritude intellectuals disavowed colonialism, and argued for the importance of a Pan-African sense of being among people of African descent worldwide. The intellectuals employed Marxist political philosophy, in the Black radical tradition. (From Wikipedia)

Postcolonialism ( also written as Post Colonialism or Post-Colonialism) is a dynamic literary field of study that focuses on the history of colonialism and offers insights into the literature and culture of the  the former European colonies.
