Régine Michelle Jean-Charles, "Looking for Other Worlds: Black Feminism and Haitian Fiction "
English | ISBN: 0813948452 | 2022 | 376 pages | PDF | 12 MB
What would it mean to reorient the study of Haitian literature toward ethics rather than the themes of politics, engagement, disaster, or catastrophe? Looking for Other Worlds engages with this question from a distinct feminist perspective and, in the process, discovers a revelatory lens through which we can productively read the work of contemporary Haitian writers.
Régine Michelle Jean-Charles explores the "ethical imagination" of three contemporary Haitian authors-Yanick Lahens, Kettly Mars, and Evelyne Trouillot-contending that ethics and aesthetics operate in relation to each other through the writers' respective novels and that the turn to ethics has proven essential in the twenty-first century.
