The Ballad of Suzanne Césaire
remembrance. 

the echoes of suzanne césaire transcend and ring throughout time. no amount of fire could suppress it. 

It is because social and political reality in Martinique is camouflaged in all kinds of ways — by imitation and depersonalization, by imposed ideologies, by creature comforts — edouard glissant
