Cri des colons contre un ouvrage de M. l'évêque et sénateur Grégoire, ayant pour titre 'De la Littérature des nègres'

About this book

In the early 19th century, a fervent debate ignited over the intellectual contributions of Black individuals, challenging prevailing societal norms. "Cri des colons contre un ouvrage de M. l'évêque et sénateur Grégoire, ayant pour titre 'De la Littérature des nègres'" emerges as a critical counterpoint, asserting colonial perspectives against the backdrop of Grégoire's advocacy for equality and recognition of "unalienable rights." This polemical text not only critiques the notion of Black literary merit but also reflects the tensions surrounding race, identity, and power. Ideal for students, civic activists, and historians, this document invites readers to explore the complexities of colonial discourse and the fight for dignity in a world rife with prejudice.
