Abstract:
This article develops Celia Britton's insights into community in French Caribbean writing in two ways. First, it considers Jacques Roumain's Gouverneurs de la rosée and its image of community in the broader context of modern and contemporary Haitian fiction; and second it discusses representations of community in two Haitian works written after the earthquake of 2010, an event that literally destroyed many communities and has forced Haitian authors to rethink relationships between different groups in Haiti and between human life, the cities, nature and the land.

Abstract: This article offers a reconstruction of prostitution in Haiti under the 1915–1934 US Occupation, as not a marginal activity but a central mechanism of imperial domination. It highlights the ways in which racialized female bodies were controlled, commodified, and used as instruments of power within the US colonial enterprise, articulating the sexual, racial, spatial, and social dimensions of oppression. Faced with the silence or absence of archives, I employ a speculative methodology based on the novel L'Espace d'un cillement ( In the Flicker of an Eyelid ) by Jacques Stephen Alexis.

Abstract: The duty of care for the nation’s threatened environment, for which the forest and its inhabitants stand as potent symbols, has been at the center of Haitian fiction, as well as of fiction by other Caribbean writers who have set their work in Haiti. The Haitian novel has mourned the impacts of deforestation on both human and nonhuman communities and denounced the practices that have led to catastrophic deforestation and the concomitant biodiversity losses, offering in turn new approaches and potential remedies for addressing one of the nation’s most central problems.

Abstract:
The polyvalent nature of water is one often explored in fiction by Caribbean writers, and this paper will consider the ways that the representations of mermaids act as an extension of this exploration. Mermaids are central to a number of folk traditions across the Caribbean region and its diaspora. On islands, including Trinidad, Martinique, Carriacou, and Haiti, with names such as Fairymaid, Mama Glo, and La Siren, mermaids are often regarded as mothers and protectresses of both the sea and the creatures within it.

Abstract:
To explore Jean-Bertrand Aristide’s rise from obscure rural Haiti to become the nation’s first democratically elected president—by a landslide—is to enter into a world and a swirl of events that reads like surreal fiction or magical realism. As a Catholic priest (Salesian order), Aristide was fueled by the religio-socialist principles of liberation theology, which emerged as a significant force in Latin America primarily in the 1970s and 1980s, forcefully and vocally advocating for the masses of Haitian poor mired in deeply-entrenched disenfranchisement and exploitation.

Abstract: This article analyzes the role of the Roman hero Aeneas and the patriarch Lot from the Hebrew Bible in "Theresa, a Haytien Tale" (1828), which describes a fictionalized episode in the Haitian Revolution (1791–1804) and is the first known work of fiction composed by a Black author in the United States. I argue that the story presents a radically feminist re-gendering of Aeneas and Lot. This analysis engages contemporary scholarship on "Theresa" in two ways. First, in terms of gender (which has been the primary focus of most scholarship on this short story), my reading of the masculine

Abstract:
Drawing on recent attempts to reconcile the divergent nations of Hispaniola, I will examine the ways in which fiction by U.S. immigrant writers Danticat and Rosario looks back to the traumatic history of race relations on Hispaniola and the 1937 massacre as a means of approaching reconciliation and healing amongst the inhabitants of Hispaniola. As invested outsiders to their homelands, Danticat and Rosario may work, as Chancy suggests, in the capacity of actors for Hispaniola. Both Danticat and Rosario graciously admit that their writing is largely contingent on the relative freedom from censu

Abstract The Coda charts how early-nineteenth-century African American intellectuals repurposed the Haitian Revolution as precursor for domestic Black freedom. The Coda examines the first African American newspaper, the Freedom’s Journal (1827), which routinely featured information about Haiti, including in its publication of “Theresa—a Haytien Tale,” perhaps the earliest extant piece of African American fiction. Linking a reading of “Theresa” to the wider print public sphere, the Coda gestures toward how African American print networks reconfigured operant meanings of Haiti in the late 1820s.
