Item The writings of Leon Damas and their connection with the negritude movement in literature(University of London, 1967) Hodge, MerleThe Negritude movement is a literary, cultural and socio – political manifestation which took place among intellectuals of the black French colonies in the first half of the twentieth century. It involved a reaction against the French policy of cultural assimilation, and the assertion of the validity of African cultures, as well as the defence of the dignity of African peoples. The word 'negritude' is used variously to denote the Negritude movement , the community of experience of black people with relation to the white world, and the more abstract idea (and subject to discussion) of there being a body of immanent characteristics common to all Negro - African peoples and their various cultures . Some theorizers of Negritude put f or ward the highly doubtful assertion that this ' negritude ' or supposed specificity of the African is discernible in his literary sty e even when he is writing in European languages. One of the lea ding poets of the Negritude movement is Leon- G. Damas, born in French Guyana in 1912. Among the Caribbean writers the theme of, race includes the subject of slavery, and the idealization of Africa, their ancestral country. The tone of Damas ' work is bitter revolt against the white world f or the crimes perpetrated against this race, with strong note of protest against the cultural assimilation of the black man. The theme of race does not occupy all of Damas ' poetry: his 'work contains a body of more personal poetry, mainly love- poems .Item Antibacterial and other constituents of selected ferns of Trinidad(1974) Brathwaite, Brader AdaleineItem Role of the cytology laboratory in the diagnosis and screening of breast cancer(1997) Brown, Claudette M.Item Bovine mastitis on selected farms in Trinidad, West Indies(2008-11-04T15:39:06Z) Blackman, Abraham AgostiniItem Socio-economic characteristics of young farmers in Country Victoria, Trinidad, with particular reference to farm income generation(2008-11-04T15:45:33Z) Bheekoo, Adrian MohanItem Study of filter mud and its effects on sugarcane growth and nutrition in Trinidad(2008-11-04T15:48:24Z) Awadelkarim, AbuidrisItem Population dynamics in the Lotka-Volterra Model by direct simulation(2008-11-04T15:48:48Z) Bradshaw, Adrian TyroneItem Investigation into Jamaican 9th grade's performance on science process skills, science knowledge and attitudes to science tests in ROSE and non-Rose schools(2008-11-04T15:50:35Z) Benjamin, Albert LyndonItem Shape nature of error control codes(2008-11-04T15:50:39Z) Als, Adrian AndrewItem Juvenile delinquency in Trinidad and Tobago: a social-psychological study of deprivation and compensation(2008-11-04T15:51:44Z) Archibald, AgnesItem Inheritance and combining ability of pod quality traits of pigeon pea Cajanus cajan (L.)
