L'Étudiant noir, Journal Mensuel de l’Association des Étudiants Martiniquais en France (translated roughly as "The Black Student: Monthly Journal of the Martinican Student Association in France") is a journal created by Aimé Césaire in 1935 in Paris. It contains the first poems written by Léon Damas and some of Leopold Sedar Senghor's first articles, both of whom were student association members at the time. Only two issues of the journal were ever published, March 1935 and May–June 1935. The most notable article was written by Aimé Césaire, titled "Conscience raciale et révolution sociale" ("Racial Consciousness and social revolution") in the May–June 1935 issue, which was the first work to explore the concept of négritude.
