A moving tale of contemporary Haiti told through the intersecting lives of four young people struggling to hold on to hope and their identities amid a militarized coup in the early 1990s.

An enriching, interpretive mode that focuses on the transnational connections between subjects of African descent as the central pole for investigation. This journey of radical new process invites readers to see creations by artists of African descent as legible within the context of African diasporic historical and cultural debates.

In this study of Haitian women's literature, the author explores their history, traditions, stories and tales. The authors' unwillingness to subordinate to narratives of national autonomy, issues of race, class, colour, caste and sexuality are central to the fiction.
