This author, who would abandon Surrealism, worked in odd formats such as his "oratorio" for the stage, And the Dogs Were Silent.  Other works include the elegies "The Tomb of Paul Eluard" and "Statue of Lafcadio Hearn" which were collected in this author's volume Ferraments, whose title refers obliquely to the shackles that once bound his ancestors.  His overtly political works include a play about a ruler of Haiti and another about the execution of Patrice Lumumba.  Those works, The Tragedy of King Christophe and A Season in the Congo, were written after he helped found a literary movement alongside Leon Damas and Leopold Senghor.  For 10 points, identify this author of "Notes From a Return to the Native Land," a Martinique born founder of Negritude.
