TÜRKÇE ŞİİRDE SİYAHÎLİĞİN İZLERİ

Abstract

The 1950’s witnessed multiple references to black Africa in the works of poets of the second renouveau and those of poets descending from a social realism tradition. This new phenomenon can be explained at one and the same time by the interest shown in independence movements that broke out all over the continent of Africa and by the deep sympathy for the people who struggled for their freedom from French, English and Portuguese imperialism. The same years saw the black movement, a movement of cultural order, flourish, in the context of political and cultural struggles, in the French colonies. Poets like Léopold Sédar Senghor and Aimé Césaire, in combining the French poetic language with the soul of Africa, created a synthetic, original language
