| Summary: | An impressive number of Haitian authors and artists have come to the Moulin d’Andé since the first Congress of Black Writers and Artists. In 1956, J.S. Alexis, René Depestre, accompanied by Jean-Jacques Brieux and Richard Wright came to stay at the Moulin d’Andé thanks to Suzanne Lipinska. Very quickly, other Haitians (Gérald Bloncourt, Jacques Rey Charles) visited this informal meeting place: authors and artists, playwrights and visual artists, researchers and journalists, publishers and columnists (Maurice Nadeau, Jean Pouillon…). The Moulin d’Andé evolved as an editorium: a place of mediation between authors and artists, columnists and founders of reviews (Esprit, L’Express, Contemporains) and left-wing journalists. In the midst of France’s decolonization and post-Shoah crisis, people like Maurice Nadeau, François Nourrissier, Jean Pouillon have sensibilized the public for the French overseas territories, Algeria, Indochina (Georges Condominas) and the vicarious need to pay tribute to the victims of colonial massacres and genocidal violences. |
