Second article: Toward the African Revolution, by Frantz Fanon
I will write about Toward the African Revolution, a collection of essays by Frantz Fanon, for my second article. Three of his other books have their own pages, and there is a red link for this book, which is prominent in its own right as a collection of Fanon's writing that shows some of the evolution of his ideas.

Scratch for course

 * The copyedited article was Aimé Césaire. I also added a bibliography entry on this page.

Bibliography for Tropiques article
I will be drafting an article about Tropiques, a Martinican literary journal from the Second World War edited by Aimé Césaire. Adding sources for it at the end of this sentence.

Short book that discusses many aspects of Tropiques, including the qualities and purposes of the poetry in the journal (in French)

Article gives some background on the journal, as well as the context of Martinique during the Vichy years (in French)

Biography of Aimé Césaire, includes a chapter about his essays, many of which first appeared in Tropiques

Book on the relation between Césaire's poetry and Negritude, with a chapter that focuses specifically on the role of Tropiques in this message

Book about surrealism in Carribean poetry and literature. A section of the book (one of five) is dedicated to Tropiques, with a focus on its literary effects

Article discusses the attitudes of the journal and its authors toward primitivism

Article discusses the ways (many of them subtle) that Tropiques resisted the Vichy occupation of Martinique, and how this translated in some ways into anti-colonialism (in French)

Article discusses different ways that the journal resisted the Vichy regime, mostly how some French writers fled to Martinique and wrote for the journal (in French)

Article discusses Suzanne Césaire, Aimé Césaire's wife, who was an integral part of Tropiques

Article discusses Aimé Césaire's poetry from the war, including some of his work in Tropiques

I have looked at and taken photos of the collected edition of the journal itself, although I have not entirely figured out yet how I will use it. It will likely be useful for a couple quotes, and I can make a list of the writers who contributed to the journal.

Article evaluation
Evaluating the article Plautdietsch language.

The lead is very informative, but it almost feels like there is too much information. It is somewhat difficult to understand what the topic is in the first sentence, and I feel like it should focus more on who speaks the language, rather than the language's origins.

It seems useful, but it does feel very technical. Perhaps there is another place (a textbook, not Wikipedia?) for such technical detail.
