Maurice Satineau

Maurice Satineau (born 18 September 1891 in Baie Mahault, Guadeloupe; died 13 September 1960 in Paris) was a politician from Guadeloupe who served in the Senate from 1948-1958 and the French Chamber of Deputies from 1936 to 1942 (the Chamber was not summoned between 1940 and 1942) .

In 1928 he founded the journal La Dépêche Africaine, a globally popular magazine of the Comité de défense de la race noire, an early french black civil rights organisation. The journal was temporarily important for the early Négritude-movement, but in general pro-colonial and assimilative.[1] In 1956 it went out of print.[2]
