NeMLA: Looking Back on Haiti
Looking Back on Haiti: Reexploration and Rewriting in a Diasporic Perspective
This panel focuses on representations of Haiti and discourses on Haitian society offered by exiled Haitian-born writers in their works. We seek to discuss and problematize the particular diasporic perspective of these authors and their relationship with their native land. We welcome proposals that explore, among others, the questions of exile, trauma, memory, and sense of legitimacy in 20th- and 21st-century literary productions of the Haitian diaspora.

200 to 300-word abstracts (in English or in French) should be directly submitted to the NeMLA portal by September 30, 2022: https://www.cfplist.com/nemla/Home/S/20034
