Detailed Explanation & Answer
The concept of ‘Negritude’ was articulated primarily by Aimé Césaire, a Martinican poet and politician.
Negritude reflects a cultural and literary movement embracing African identity and heritage.
Césaire sought to counteract colonialism's negative perceptions of black identity, emphasizing pride and cultural richness.
While other figures like Edward Said and William Jones made significant contributions in their fields, it is Césaire who is the most recognized for this specific concept.
