Abstract
ABSTRACTThis essay chronicles literary reflections and critical exchanges between four Haitian authors—Jean Métellus (Jacmel, 1937–2014), Joël Des Rosiers (Les Cayes, 1951–), Dany Laferrière (Port-au-Prince, 1953–), and Edwidge Danticat (Port-au-Prince, 1969–)—who address the question of the relationship between their Haitian cultural origins and their exile from the place of their birth. It proposes conceiving of Haitian literature as a borderless global exchange based on shared historical and cultural commonplaces that create a literary community sustained by mutual critical gestures and reciprocal dialogues.
