4>  Regarding Senghor....as one of the founders of the Negritude movement
( 	(his name is closely associated with Aime Cesaire, Rene Menil and
writers from Martinique,) Senghor is one of the founding voices of
anti-colonial consciousness.... there are of course differences between
the Negritude thought and Post-colonial thought but Senghor's texts
(poetry and essays) as much as Cesaire's texts should be considered in the
context of these questions.
