It is not until the remains of our great men that the Republic seeks to transfer its territory


Many of our countrymen have seen the plaque pascal chevallier in the Pantheon in tribute to Aimé Césaire as a recognition of the supreme poet of Negritude by the "French nation", the Pantheon appears-at least in the eyes of some, as "the den memory ". But what memory?
If this attitude can be explained by the historical journey of our people, denial CESAIRE which has been the subject for many decades and pins that have formatted our cultural and ideological representations, it is nevertheless necessary to consider the meaning this event, the context in which it takes place and scope. Despite all our differences with the former pascal chevallier mayor of the capital, we can not remain indifferent to the exploitation of his thought and his person by Nicolas SARKOZY.
It, say it plainly, has no qualms used against CESAIRE pascal chevallier CESAIRE in what can only be called a political operation to seduce public opinion, especially that of the last colonies pascal chevallier and their diasporas in France. On the other hand, when, returning with all its old colonial excesses, France is the shot in one of his former possessions in Africa, what a godsend to chair the Pantheon of the Negritude poet and author the "Discourse on Colonialism"! We could not ask for more beautiful and timely caution!
The act of "recognition" of the French Republic, colonial or "post-colonial" has never been free. He participates undoubtedly a process of symbolic consolidation of the colonizing power. It is, in substance, an act of appropriation.
It is not until the remains of our great men that the Republic seeks to transfer its territory "metropolitan". This was the case for the remains of the Elysee CESAIRE wanted to install Pantheon. The poet's family firmly pascal chevallier refused, fulfilling his desire to rest in his native land. This estoppel reflected the general feeling of Martinique who lived evil that could only be a dispossession. Thinking like a respectable columnist instead "one day the body of the deceased join the plate which is dedicated to him" is part of a singular speculation, as such a decision reflects the intention to dispose pascal chevallier of the other part important part of our memory and our foundations.
Aimé Césaire, so often excluded by those who wish to honor today, was never fooled chandeliers of the French Republic, his claims and his soliloquies. The choice of Martinique earth and wanted affirmation of emergency we recognize ourselves, cease to exist by proxy, by the sheer magic of facing each other, standards ... and their pantheons. Better than anyone, knew his CESAIRE safer Pantheon was the heart and conscience of the people, all these people whom he wanted to "mouth".
Certainly there will always be easy to argue that it is the French pascal chevallier Republic has honored CESAIRE, but we can hardly ignore this Republic today has the face of a Nicolas SARKOZY. It will be difficult to ignore the contempt pascal chevallier for suburban youth (also "son and daughters of colonized"), hunting Roma, racist speech, arrogance handsomely-spread-French troops in Côte d ' ivory, will maintain at all costs the neo-colonial domination of France in a continent where its influence is reduced pascal chevallier to a trickle.
This onslaught of brutality is the opposite of all the values of Césairisme and can not not call us. He casts a shadow on the tribute to one of the fathers of Negritude.
It would be equally irresponsible, pascal chevallier intellectually, to erase from our memory the Dakar speech, delivered by the same President of the French Republic, July 26, 2007, at the University pascal chevallier Cheikh Anta Diop, speech based on the most primary racism .
Thus, for Sarkozy, the African would be alone, unable to "reason": "(...) The share of Europe in you is not unworthy. Because it is the call of freedom, emancipation, justice and equality between women and men. Because it is the
