Abstract

Euzhan Palcy's 1983 film 'Rue Case-Negres' explores the influence of education on cultural identity in the French colony of Martinique in the 1930s. The French educational system imposed on blacks in Martinique denied the value of African and Afro-Caribbean traditions. A young man finds sources of education about his identity in the stories told by his grandmother and an old cane cutter. Palcy also uses the film to confront images of primitivism and exoticism in dominant culture's portrayals of blacks.
