His works include: poetry, Cahier d'un retour au pays natal, (1939), Les armes miraculeuses (1946), Cahier d'un retour au pays natal (1947), Soleil cou-coupâe (1948), Corps perdu (1950), Ferrements (1960), Cadastre (1961), Moi, laminaire (1982), Comme un malentendu de salut (1994); theatre, Et les Chiens se taisaient (1958), La Tragâedie du roi Christophe (1963), Une Saison au Congo (1966), Une Tempãete (1969) [adaptation pour un thâeãatre náegre]; as well as numerous essays. In 1945, with the support of the French Communist Party (PCF), Câesaire was elected mayor of Fort-de-France and deputy to the French National Assembly for Martinique. He was one of the principal drafters of the 1946 law on departmentalizing former colonies, a role for which independentist politicians have often criticized him.
