Notes:

"A Richard Seaver book"

"Because the emphasis of this anthology has been not only literary but also historical and social, literary criteria have obviously not been the sole factor in determining its contents. The object has been to present a representative spectrum of black poets from the former French colonial empire."--Introduction.

"Notes on the Translators" pages 275-276.
