In What We Say, Who We Are, Parker English explores the commonality between Leopold Senghor's concept of ""negritude"" and Zora Neale Hurston's view of ""Negro expression."" For English, these two concepts emphasize that a person's view of herself is above all dictated by the way in which she talks about herself. Focusing on ""performism,"" English discusses the presentational/representational and externalistic/internalistic facets of this concept and how they relate to the ideas of Senghor and Hurston.
