Insyd Africa, when children dey grow up,dem dey leave their parents' hut, ein build a hut of their own by its side. Believe me, we don't want to leave de French compound. We grow up insyd it, ein it is good to be alive insyd it. We simply want to build our own huts.

Speech by Senghor, 1957[16]

Since federalism is not favour by de African countries, he decide to form, along plus Modibo Keita, de Mali Federation plus former French Sudan (present-day Mali).[15] Senghor bi de president of de Federal Assembly until it fail insyd 1960.[17]

Insyd December 1962,dem dey arrest Mamadou Dia under suspicion of fomenting a coup d'état. He dey insyd prison for 12 years. Following dis, Senghor establishe an authoritarian presidential regime where all rival political parties dey suppress.[18][19][20] Senghor tightly circumscribe press freedom insyd Senegal ein found de state-run newspaper Le Soleil insyd 1970.[21]

On 22 March 1967, Senghor survive an assassination attempt.[22] De suspect, Moustapha Lô, point his pistol towards de President after he dey participate in de sermon of Tabaski, but de gun did not fire Dem dey sentence Lô to death for treason ein execute him on 15 June 1967, even though it remaine unclear if he had actually want to kill Senghor.[23]

Following an announcement at de beginning of December 1980,[24] Senghor resigne his position at de end of de year, before de end of his fifth term. Abdou Diouf replace him as de head of de country. Under Senghor's presidency, Senegal adopt a multi-party system (limited to three: socialist, communist ein liberal).[25] He create a performing education system.

He bi de first African to sit at de Académie.[3] De entrance ceremony in his honour take place on 29 March 1984, in presence of French President François Mitterrand.

Jacques Chirac (who say, upon hearing of Senghor's death: "Poetry has lost one of its masters, Senegal a statesman, Africa a visionary ein France a friend")[34] ein Lionel Jospin, respectively president of the French Republic ein de prime minister, did not attend. Dem failure to attend Senghor's funeral make waves as it was deem a lack of acknowledgement for what de politician dey do for his life. De analogy is make plus de Senegalese Tirailleurs who, after having contributes to de liberation for France, have to wait more dan forty years to receive an equal pension (in terms of buying power) to their French counterparts. De scholar Érik Orsenna write insyd de newspaper Le Monde an editorial entitle "J'ai honte" (I am ashamed).[35]

Legacy

[edit | edit source]

Although a socialist, Senghor dey avoid de Marxist ein anti-Western ideology dat have become popular insyd post-colonial Africa, favouring de maintenance of close ties plus France ein de Western world. Senghor's tenure as president bi characterise by de development of African socialism, which Dem dey create as an indigenous alternative for Marxism, drawing heavily from de négritude philosophy. In developing dis, Ousmane Tanor Dieng dey assist him. On 31 December 1980, he retire in favour for his prime minister, Abdou Diouf. Politically, Senghor's stamp can also be identify san today. With regards to Senegal in particular, his willful abdication for power to his successor, Abdou Diouf, which dey lead to Diouf's peaceful leave from office as well. Senegal's special relationship with France ein economic legacy are more highly dey conteste, but Senghor's impact on democracy remains nonetheless. Senghor manage to retain his identity as both a poet ein a politician even throughout his busy careers as both, living by his philosophy of achieving equilibrium between competing forces. Whether it bi France ein Africa, poetics ein politics, or other disparate parts of his identity, Senghor balance de two.

Literarily, Senghor's influence on political thought ein poetic form are wide-reaching even through to our modern day. Senghor's poetry endures as de "record of an individual sensibility at a particular moment in history," capturing de spirit of de Négritude movement at its peak, but san marks a definitive place insyd literary history.[36] Senghor's thoughts were exceedingly radical for dis time, arguing dat Africans could only progress if dem develop a culture distinct ein separate from de colonial powers dat oppress dem, pushing against popular thought at de time. Senghor bi deeply influence by poets from de US such as Langston Hughes.[37] Seat number 16 of de Académie bi vacant after de Senegalese poet's death. He is ultimately replace by another former president, Valéry Giscard d'Estaing.

Quand je serai mort, mes amis, couchez-moi sous Joal-l'Ombreuse.
Sur la colline au bord du Mamanguedy, près l'oreille du sanctuaire des Serpents.
Mais entre le Lion couchez-moi et l'aïeule Tening-Ndyae.
Quand je serai mort mes amis, couchez-moi sous Joal-la-Portugaise.
Des pierres du Fort vous ferez ma tombe, et les canons garderont le silence.
Deux lauriers roses-blanc et rose-embaumeront la Signare.
When I'm dead, my friends, place me below Shadowy Joal,
On de hill, by de bank of de Mamanguedy, near de ear of Serpents' Sanctuary.
But place me between de Lion ein ancestral Tening-Ndyae.
When I'm dead, my friends, place me beneath Portuguese Joal.
Of stones from the Fort build my tomb, ein cannons will keep quiet.
Two oleanders – white ein pink – will perfume de Signare.
Négritude
[edit | edit source]

Template:Main article

TemplateTemplate:More citations needed section

Léopold Sédar Senghor with Habib Bourguiba and Mohamed Sayah, Carthage Palace, 1980

Plus Aimé Césaire ein Léon Damas, Senghor creats de concept of Négritude, an important intellectual movement dat sought to assert ein valorise what Dem dey believe to be distinctive African characteristics, values, ein aesthetics. One of these African characteristics dat Senghor dey theorise dey assert when he writes "de Negro has reactions dat are more lived, in de sense dat they are more direct ein concrete expressions of de sensation ein of de stimulus, ein so of de object itself plus all its original qualities ein power." Dis bi a reaction against de too-strong dominance of French culture insyd de colonies, ein against de perception dat Africa did not have a culture develop enough to stand alongside dat of Europe. In dat respect, négritude owes significantly to de pioneering work of Leo Frobenius.

Building upon historical research identifying ancient Egypt plus black Africa, Senghor argue dat sub-Saharan Africa ein Europe are in fact part of de same cultural continuum, reaching from Egypt to classical Greece, through Rome to de European colonial powers of de modern age. Négritude is by no means—as it has in many quarters dey perceive—an anti-white racism, but rather emphasised de importance of dialogue ein exchange among different cultures (e.g., European, African, Arab, etc.).

A related concept later develop insyd Mobutu's Zaire is dat of authenticité or Authenticity.

Décalage

[edit | edit source]

Insyd colloquial French, de term décalage is use to describe jetlag, lag or a general discrepancy between two things. However, Senghor uses de term to describe de unevenness insyd de African Diaspora. De complete phrase he uses is "Il s'agit, en réalité, d'un simple décalage—dans le temps et dans l'espace", meaning dat between Black Africans ein African Americans there exists an inconsistency, both temporally ein spatially. De time element points to de advancing or delaying of a schedule or agenda, while de space aspect designates de displacing ein shifting of an object. De term points to "a bias dat refuses to pass over when one crosses de water". He asks, how can we expect any sort of solidarity or intimacy from two populations dat diverged over 500 years ago?
