Third man of n gritude, L on Damas aligned himself with the Harlem Renaissance (Langston Hughes, Claude McKay), and Richard Wright, as well as with the surrealists like Apollinaire and G. Luca to transmit his urgent message: "a ti pa", France is little by little undergoing its decolonial transformation. Damas is the "antillectuel transfuge" who crosses boundaries of color, "race", class and gender. Hereby he announces the "City of tomorrow" where differences of all kind are tolerated and respected.
