Abstract

This essay focuses on Sarah Maldoror's stylistic and narrative choices in her documentary Aimé Césaire: Le masque des mots/Aimé Césaire: The Mask of Words (1987). Originally commissioned to document a monumental academic conference, Negritude, Ethnicity and Afro Cultures in the Americas, the film positions Miami as a Black World center as Maldoror explores connections between landscapes in South Florida and Martinique.
