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: The flight of Holocaust refugees to the Caribbean has become a new focal point of historical scholarship. Less attention has been devoted, however, to literary representations of these journeys. Refugees from Nazi-occupied Europe feature prominently, for example, in Jamaican novelist John Hearne’s Land of the Living (1961) and Antiguan novelist Jamaica Kincaid’s Mr. Potter (2002). More recently, Haitian author Louis Philippe Dalembert’s novel Avant que les ombres s’effacent (2017) addresses refugee journeys to Haiti that remain largely unexplored in historical scholarship.

In this paper, I propose to focus on the image of zombification that has become ubiquitous in crisis-management discourses, especially in the talk of so-called ‘zombie companies,’ ‘zombie banks’, or ‘zombie economies’.

Abstract:

A contemporary Afro-Brazilian literature has been detached by its compromise as it has been restored and has reconstructed the memories of the African diaspora in the Americas, addressing themes such as slavery, resistance and ancestral life. In this context, this article analyzed the fictional representations of Isabel Allende's A Ilha Sob o Mar (2008) and Ana Maria Gonçalves' Um Defeito de Cor (2006), exploring how both revisit slave insurgencies that occurred in Latin America during the colonial period. Our novels require historical contexts that destroy the violence of labor and, simultane

I wake up early, questions buzzing through my mind. While I sip my morning cup of tea and read The Guardian online, the writer, restless because I’m ignoring her, walks around firing questions.“Expecting the patriarchy to want to share its enormous wealth and power with women is extremely naïve.”I nod. Outside the window pieces of sky are framed by trees, fluffy white clouds alternate with bright patches of blue. The sweet, heady first wafts of lavender and citrus drift in through the open window. Spring has come to Hvar. Time to get to work.The more I understand about narcissism, the more I u

Abstract:

When we think of United Nations (UN) peacekeepers, the first image that is conjured in our mind is of an individual sporting a blue helmet or a blue beret (fig. 1). While simple and uncomplicated, these blue accessories represent an expression and an embodiment resembling that of a warrior, sent to bring peace to conflict-torn communities. UN peacekeeping first conceptually emerged in 1948 in the wake of the Arab-Israeli war that ensued following the United Kingdom’s relinquishing of its mandate over Palestine, and the proclamation of the State of Israel. “Forged in the crucible of practical d

Abstract:

   From elephants to ABBA fans, silicon to hormone, the following discussion uses a new research method to look at printed text, motion pictures and a teenage rebel icon. If by ‘print’ we mean a mechanically reproduced impression of a cultural symbol in a medium, then printing has been with us since before microdot security prints were painted onto cars, before voice prints, laser prints, network servers, record pressings, motion picture prints, photo prints, colour woodblock prints, before books, textile prints, and footprints. If we accept that higher mammals such as elepha
