Abstract

<p>The epoque between two World Wars can be characterized, in France, as that of the ebullition of Black peoples. On one side, ordinary French people showed a kind of gratitude to the Black youths from Africa for their brave contribution during the War, and, in the domain of scientific knowledge, especially trained ethnologists, in lieu of administrators, presented more detailed understandings of the African societies. In Paris, different journals and revues by the Black people were published for the Black people one after another. At the same time, famous American Negro writers who had commenced, in the United States, new literary movements came to Paris to communicate themselves with Black intellectuals living in Paris. In 1931, a new black intellectual movement began around the revue La Revue du Monde Noir founded by Paulette Nardal, a Black woman from Martinique. Many black intellectuals gathered around this revue, and they, especially Nardal sisters, forged new ideas of Black people independent of their origins; Antilles, Africa or the United States. This new idea of Black people and Black culture was succeeded to the famous idea of Negritude launched by Aimé Césaire and Léopold Sédar Senghor. And the idea was also succeeded to the Présence Africaine which was created in 1947.</p><p>I intended, in this paper, to present Paulette Nardal and her work in relation to the International Colonial Exposition held, in Paris, in the same year.</p>
