Abstract
An examination of Haitian anthropologist Anténor Firmin’s revolutionary articulations on the natural equality of the human races in De l’égalité des races humaines (1885) and their immanent, substantive, and resonant place subsequently in the work of Aimé Césaire. The article incorporates the thought of Suzanne Césaire to complete the ontological “Ethiopian-Africa” nexus present in both Firmin and Césaire. Beyond alluding to a shared sense of the elusive concept of Négritude, the article performs close readings of Firmin-Césaire texts side by side. Establishing a politico-spatial diaspora genealogy of thought, the article brings the force of Firmin’s essay into the twenty-first century.
