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. As a charismatic spokesperson for the popular democratic movement in Haiti during an era of entrenched dictatorship and repressive violence, Aristide boldly confronted the “four-headed monster” of the Haitian power structure—the army, the church hierarchy, the tontons macoutes, and the wealthy elite. His seemingly impossible escape from multiple assassination attempts, together with the power of his colorful rhetoric and his close association with urban slum dwellers and rural peasants, led to a rising “flood” (or lavalas) that invested him with an aura of Spirit, or mistik, that in either/both the Haitian-embraced tradition of Christianity or vodoun (voodoo) served to energize and greatly reassure an intense mass movement arrayed against seemingly impossible odds. This article focuses on the rise of Aristide as the embodiment and voice of Spirit among the people and does not extend into his tumultuous secular years in and out of the presidency, having been twice the victim of coups (1991 and 2004); instead it focuses primarily on the years 1985–1990 and does not enter into an assessment of Aristide as president. Aristide’s own vivid narratives of this time, segments of his sermons, and later, passages of his poetry serve to bolster the literary quality or interpretation of this brief but vividly colorful historic epoch in the Haitian experience.

Abstract:
Franck Fouché was born on 27 November 1915, in Saint-Marc, Haiti. His formative years were precisely the period of the first American occupation of the island. He received his baccalauréat from the Lycée Pétion in 1934. After studying literature at the Université d'Haïti, he returned to Saint-Marc as a professor of literature and director of the Lycée Sténio-Vincent in 1940. He began to publish poetry (‘Billet à Florel’, 1941) and founded a literary review, Horizon (1942). He wrote for two daily newspapers, Le National and Le Nouvelliste in 1944. He received a Licence en Droit from the Université d'Haïti in 1945. After serving as Editor of Le National (1953–4), he was appointed Cultural Attaché at the Haitian Embassy in Mexico City in 1957. Along with a number of Haitian intellectuals, he emigrated from the Duvalierist Haiti to Montreal in 1966. He taught in Chambly. At the Université du Québec à Montréal, he completed an M.A. thesis, Vodou et théâtre; pour un nouveau théâtre populaire (1976). Following an automobile accident, he died on 3 January 1978 in Montreal.

Abstract:
Theoretician and proponent of a “Nation Language” meant to provide the Caribbean peoples with a decolonized set of words and concepts adapted to their particular worldview and historical experience, Barbadian author Kamau Brathwaite did not, as might have been expected, elaborate a monolithic Creole poetics. Instead of basing his creative work on the “defense and illustration” of one particular, localized language, Brathwaite experimented with linguistic plurality and dissonance as means for an opening of the possible. This poetic project is at the core of his 1973 trilogy The Arrivants, where the friction between Standard English, Bajan, Jamaican Patois, African American Vernacular, Haitian Creole and Akan parallels the different territories, voices and historicities of the African Diaspora. The experiments with linguistic and cultural frictions make the reader question his/her own linguistic reflexes and imagine new communities.

Abstract: This article considers the timing of the Académie d'Amiens poetry contest on "L'Abolition de la traite des Nègres" (1819–20), the little-known predecessor to the Académie française prix de poésie on "L'Abolition de la traite des Noirs" (1823). The Amiens concours attempted to offer a timely commemoration of the slave trade's abolition. Close readings of the competition's archival records, including twelve submitted poems and two reports, suggest reasons why a winner was never chosen. The persistence of the clandestine slave trade and pro-slavery arguments blaming abolitionism for the recent events of the Haitian Revolution challenged the possibility and value of the proposed commemoration. The Amiens contest ultimately bears witness to a shift in contemporary perceptions of the slave trade's abolition during the Bourbon Restoration: from the celebration of an event to the realization that its history was far from over.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Classically trained Black musician Leyla McCalla’s album Vari-Colored Songs: A Tribute to Langston Hughes (2014) intertwines innovative folk- and blues-inspired settings of Hughes’s blues poetry, interpretations of traditional Haitian folk songs, and original compositions. This article argues that the album constitutes both a vital homage to Hughes’s impact on Black diasporic culture and a feminist boundary-breaking reshaping of the expectations of the hegemonic, white-washing contemporary music industry. It reads together the album’s ambitious liner notes, accompanying visual elements, and sonic choices of selected tracks to show how McCalla, by innovatively syncretizing typically disparate genres, inherits and extends the radical political and cultural tradition of the blues women whom Hughes’s poetry often depicted. Thus, it draws on frameworks from Hughes criticism and from performance studies scholars such as Daphne Brooks to suggest that Black female artists like McCalla warrant the attention of diasporic cultural critics equally to and alongside aesthetic ancestors like Hughes who inspire them. These women are epistemologically intervening in the construction of literary and cultural history through projects like Vari-Colored Songs, an impressive artifact that wrenchingly brings together traditions to address diasporic problems such as eco-precarity and to celebrate Black women’s resilient persistence through such endemic conditions.

Abstract:
En raison de circonstances historiques et sociales difficiles, la littérature haïtienne s'est enfermée pendant environ un siècle dans le patriotisme et le nationalisme. Rejet de l'indépendance par les nations occidentales, affaires judiciaires et diplomatiques louches, instabilités politiques et sociales ont marqué tout le XIXe siècle haïtien. A la fin du siècle, une nouvelle génération d'écrivains a opté pour la rénovation en proscrivant la matière nationale, notamment la veine nationaliste, et s'est tournée vers l'universalisme. Il s'en est suivi un remaniement de la pensée ou de la vision haïtienne dont les répercussions se feront ressentir même dans les relations internationales avec les nations autrefois vues de très mauvais oeil. Haïti cherche, et Etzer Vilaire notamment s'y attachera avec une inépuisable énergie, ses racines latines au rejet et parfois au refus même de ses racines africaines
Haitian literature locked itself for almost a century in patriotism and nationalism for socio-historical reasons. The rejection of her independence by the West, questionable judicial and diplomatic transactions, social and political instabilities all characterized 19th century Haiti. At the end of the 19th century a new generation of writers opted for reinvention, advocating a shift from national affairs, most especially the nationalist trend. They turned towards universalism. Consequently, a total reshuffle of Haitian thinking and vision followed and the repercussions of this will be felt in areas of international relations with nations which at one point were not considered friends. Haiti in search of her roots, as Etzer Vilaire specifically clings on to the Latin roots while rejecting and at times denying its African roots

Abstract:
Although many in the contemporary academic world would avoid themes such as solitude, love, and, in the context of “francophone” literature, exile, I have decided to give these all the attention they deserve based on the importance they hold in the works themselves, and based on the depth they possess. It is thus from the perspective of the renewed light they bring on these topics that the following three works will be analysed: À vol d’ombre (1966) by Jacqueline Beaugé, Transparence en bleu d’oubli (1979) by Renée Marie-Ange Jolicœur, and La Fidélité non plus… (1986) by Yanick Jean. In order to contextualize these three works, I first provide a brief history of Haitian poetry in which particular attention is given to the contributions of women writers. This overview illustrates how Jean, Jolicœur and Beaugé use very general themes such as love and solitude, but also how they manage to set themselves apart. Indeed, their works are unparalleled in Haitian literature because they constantly play with the conventions of love poetry and redefine the notion of absence. In order to establish how every absence contains traces of presence, my analysis bases itself in part on the theories of Derrida. I also explore how, in each of the collections of poems under consideration (although for different reasons), absence stifles any possibility of contact with the other. In order to understand this problem and underscore its importance, I refer to Hegel’s conception of the relationship to the other. Based on these premises, I conclude by showing how exile is a space that is at once filled with absence and with presence, and how the staging of the act of writing, in all three works, makes poetry and absence inseparable.

Abstract:
Haiti’s independence was announced in sound and words, in the 1804 Declaration of Independence that was, as Edwidge Danticat says, “itself a poetic text, filled with poignant and elaborate imagery and passionate language.” Early poetry in Haiti was similarly charged with declarative functions and forms: made to be heard, it was, as the historian Émile Nau put it, “the song of the multitude, a general outpouring, an epic.” To have an impact, to be heard, such a song for the people drew on the “oral, rhythmic traditions” of popular culture, the sounds that had survived slavery and served as markers of identity and solidarity during the long war of independence (Doris Kadish and Doris Jenson, Poetry of Haitian Independence, 2015). This chapter draws on the earliest Haitian poetry to show the ways in which sounds were important means of asserting the new nation’s sense of itself, communicating its understanding of its place in the world, and imagining history and memory in a time marked by upheavals and uncertainty, and the persistent reminders of the legacies of the colonial past.

Abstract:
The French term engagement is generally understood to mean politically committed or involved. Many writers from the Caribbean can be considered to write littérature engagée, including Aimé Césaire (Martinique), who occupied the dual roles of poet and politician throughout his long life, and Edouard Glissant (also from Martinique), who consistently remarked upon the inextricability of poetry and politics. This chapter focuses on lesser-known Haitian poetry, and a writer whose work beautifully encapsulates the power of literary engagement. Rodney Saint-Eloi (b. 1963) is a distinguished Haitian poet and writer as well as the founder of the publishing houses Les Editions Mémoire in Port-au-Prince in 1991 and Mémoire d’encrier in Montreal, Canada, in 2003. Through a study of Saint-Eloi’s recent texts—including Haïti kenbe la (2010), the jointly edited Refonder Haïti? (2010) and Passion Haïti (2016)—this study provides insight into how to teach the politically involved and poetic nature of one of Haiti’s important writers.

Chapter 5 argues that although Haiti's presence is relatively absent in much of Aída Cartagena Portalatín’s work, when Haiti is visible, it signals an important transformation in Cartagena's thinking about Dominican national identity; Russ shows that Cartagena eventually breaks loose from the discursive structures that define Dominican nationalism in twentieth-century Dominican literature and twentieth-century Dominican poetry as fundamentally anti-black and anti-Haitian.

Abstract:
"In Haiti, the success rate in elementary school remains very low and the majority of teachers do not have sufficient knowledge of effective pedagogical approaches to writing which leads to demotivation and a low sense of effectiveness as scriptwriters among students. We chose slam as a genre of contemporary and urban poetry (Vorger, 2011) and the workshop device to work on slam poetic writing (Troia, Lin, Cohen and Monroe, 2011), ideal to improve students' writing skills, motivation and sense of effectiveness. The research took place in two primary schools in Port-au-Prince against the backdrop of a socio-political crisis. Twelve facilitators (10 women and 2 men), trained in advance, facilitated the workshops in 13 sessions of 90 minutes each. A total of 61 students aged 12-13 participated in the after-school writing workshops (26 boys and 38 girls). Students completed a questionnaire on their motivation and sense of writing skills before and after the program. A corpus of 41 texts of claimed poetry written by students is the subject of a thematic and linguistic analysis. The results indicate that students benefit from their writing and oral expression skills, self-confidence and empowerment, and that their texts demonstrate a high degree of linguistic creativity and thematic richness. The positive results are consistent with those obtained in other socio-cultural contexts (Patmanathan, 2014) regarding the impact of the writing workshops. They contribute to new knowledge about slam poetry as an appropriate literary genre for young people, even at the end of primary school."
