A new and complete English translation
The Great Camouflage translates and assembles in one volume the seven articles Suzanne C?saire wrote for the cultural journal Tropiques. C?saire engages anthropology, esthetics, surrealism, history, and poetry as she grapples with questions of power and deception, self-deception, the economic slipknot of a post-slavery debt system, identity and inauthenticity, bad faith, psychological and affective aberration, and cultural zombification. All are caught in the web of “the great camouflage.” The collection provides a multifaceted portrait of C?saire, and includes short writings from others who wrote passionately about her, including Andr? Breton, Andr? Masson, Ren? M?nil, Daniel Maximin, and her husband Aim? C?saire and daughter, Ina C?saire.
