Abstract
Portrayals of Haitian immigrants in mass media are often one-dimensional, a fact that has resulted in the perpetuation of clichés and stereotypes. By contrast, many diasporic writers, filmmakers, artists, and intellectuals present far more complex and layered representations of Haitian immigrants in their works. This chapter discusses a course on diasporic representations of Haitian immigrant experiences in literature, painting, films, and music of Haiti and the Dominican Republic, an interdisciplinary course focused on the humanities but relevant to a variety of fields, including global studies, migration studies, area studies, and cultural studies.
