Answer:

Negritude, a literary movement, was born out of the Paris intellectual environment of 1930's and 1940's. It is the product of black writers joining through the French language to assert their cultural identity.

Step-by-step explanation:

Negritude responded to the alienated position of blacks in history. The movement asserted an identity for blacks around the world, the rupture from Africa through the Atlantic slave trade was a great part of their cultural understanding. Their work told of the fustration and loss of their motherland. From a political stand point Negritude was an important aspect of the rejection of colonialism.
