Michael Damas Interview
No full textMichael J. Damas was born on November 8, 1912 in Charleston, West Virginia, the son of Lebanese immigrants. As a child he delivered The Blade, the Toledo Times, and the Toledo News-Bee, as well as selling candy with Amos Jacobs, later known as Danny Thomas. He championed his heritage before pride in ethnic identity was popular. Mr. Damas had a long and varied political career, including being the first Arab-American mayor of a large city, an office he held from 1959-1961. He was an early advocate of establishing a state medical college in Toledo, and formed the Toledo Cultural Commission, which later became the Arts Commission of Greater Toledo. He was a leader of his church, St. George Antiochian Orthodox Cathedral, and was honored for his service by the archdiocese. He wrote a collection of short stories, published in 1974, titled The Day Isreal Died...And Lived. Mr. Damas died on April 13, 2003, in Toledo

No full textIn a collection of poetry, Mine de riens, published during the centennial year of his birth, Léon-Gontran Damas (1912-1978) paid tribute to the Amerindians by opening with a long poem which signified upon the masks ("mine" meaning 'expression', 'look', 'appearance', and, indeed 'mien') donned by the colonized indigenous population of the 'Eldorado' of the Guianas. In Mine de riens, he recalls the early exploitation of Native Americans as a cheap? labour-force in the Spanish gold mines. Damas also touches on other forgotten or taboo topics hitherto little represented in the literature of the Greater Caribbean, such as the sexual abuse of children (or 'minors', homonym of 'miners' in French), homoerotic desire (anticipating Christiane Taubira's quoting from Damas' Black-Label before the National Assembly in 2013 while defending gay marriage), and competing claims on historical commemoration in the French Republic (Jews and blacks being accorded unequal attention). The article also problematizes the neglect of Damas as co-founder of Negritude (with Senghor and Césaire), in sharp contrast to the attention paid to Glissant, Bernabé, Confiant, and Chamoiseau, Martinique's post-Negritude authors of Créolité, this partly because of the lack of public awareness caused by the problematic handling of Damas' manuscripts. The fact that Damas' own title, Mine de riens, was replaced by Dernière escale is a prime example of the lamentable state of affairs in Damasian studies today
