Présence Africaine

Yannick Essengue

It is hard to think of contemporary African philosophy without encountering Alioune Diop (1910-1980), who founded the review Présence Africaine in 1947, in the wake of L’Étudiant noir, created thirteen years earlier with Senghor, Léon-Gontran Damas and Aimé Césaire.

The review wanted, as its first issue put it, to “define African originality and hasten its insertion into the modern world.” Under its impulse, Black thought experienced a real surge: from the publication of Bantu Philosophy, which launched the Présence Africaine publishing house in 1949, to Négritude, through the arts, literature and poetry.
