Abstract
Chevrier introduces the terms Afrique-sur-Seine and migritude to reflect a shift in the global conditions of contemporary cultural production: from nations and nationalities towards movement, migration, and exile. Located between Africanness and Frenchness, a new generation of Black writers—such as Djiboutian Abdourahman Waberi, Calixthe Beyala, Daniel Biyaoula, and others—draws inspiration in migritude, their off-centredness and hybridity, and less in negritude. Published in 2004, the text opens up a conceptual space where the historical experiences of African and diasporic writers and artists no longer imposes boundaries on their creativity but confers a special authority to their work.
