Abstract
A Haitian writer who left his island at the age of twenty-one, Jean-Claude Charles was a particular type of exile. As he explains in his concept of “rooting” that he himself created, he did not get established anywhere else, as did many Haitian refugees, he kept on moving. His wandering took him especially to France and the United States. Many thought that Charles then became uprooted. Yet we will show that it is precisely in his wandering that Charles managed to find new roots, to “take root.” Metaphorically and by writing, he established a bridge between the two continents.
