| Term: Spring Semester 2024 |
| Description: This course engages with the rich tradition of French writing from Haiti. Beginning with Émeric Bergeaud's Stella (1859), the first novel of the first Black republic, we explore the history of Haitian writing across literary genres and movements, including the Indigénisme that anticipated Négritude. Diasporic authors from the Duvalier dictatorship period include Marie Vieux- Chauvet, author of the cult classic, Amour, Colère, Folie, and Dany Laferrière, famous as both the first Haitian and first Quebecois to enter the Académie française. In Haiti's contemporary literary scene, we focus on writers such as Yanick Lahens and Marie-Célie Agnant. |
