Andre Breton met him after reading the first issue
Andre Breton met him after reading the first issue of Tropiques, and later wrote an introduction to one of this man's works set "at the end of daybreak," which references Josephine, and contains images such as a jar of oil with the word "MERCI" in gold and lagoons "not covered in waterlilies," a reference to French colonialism. His plays include Une Saison au Congo and La Tragedie du Roi Christophe, about the rise and fall of a leader of Haiti. A neologism he coined along with Leon-Gontran Dumas and Leopold Senghor first appeared in a long poem set on Martinique. For 10 points, name this author of Notebook of a Return to the Native Land, the co-creator of negritude.
