Didier Lamaison’s *Léopold Sédar Senghor, Éthiopiques* offers a concise exploration of the Senegalese poet‑diplomat’s engagement with the literary journal *Éthiopiques*. Drawing on excerpts, correspondence, and contemporary criticism, the work situates Senghor’s contributions within the broader currents of Francophone African literature. Lamaison highlights how the journal served as a platform for cultural exchange and intellectual debate during the mid‑20th century, illustrating Senghor’s role in shaping a pan‑African literary identity. The volume’s compact format makes it an accessible entry point for readers interested in post‑colonial literary history and the enduring influence of Senghor’s poetic vision.
