A comet in the mounting firmament of third-world, non-white, female
writers, Edwidge Danticat stands apart. Danticat is an accomplished
trilingual children's and YA author, activist, op-ed and cinema
writer, and keynote speaker. Much of her work introduces the world
to the cultural uniqueness of Haiti, the first black republic, and
the elements of African heritage, language, and Vodou that continue
to color all aspects of the island's art and self-expression This
companion provides an in-depth look into the world and writings of
Danticat through A-Z entries. These entries cover both her works
and the prevalent themes of her writing, including colonialism,
slavery, superstition, adaptation, dreams and coming of age. It
also provides a biography of Danticat, a list of 32 aphorisms from
Danticat's fiction, a guide to the names and histories of the real
places in her fiction, lesson planning aids, and a robust glossary
offering translations and definitions for the many Creole, French,
Japanese, Latin, Spanish, and Taino terms in Danticat's writing.
