Haitian-American writer Edwidge Danticat is one of the most
recognized writers today. Her debut novel, Breath, Eyes, Memory,
was an Oprah Book Club selection, and works such as Krik? Krak! and
Brother, I'm Dying have earned her a MacArthur ""genius"" grant and
National Book Award nominations. Yet despite international acclaim
and the relevance of her writings to postcolonial, feminist,
Caribbean, African diaspora, Haitian, literary, and global studies,
Danticat's work has not been the subject of a full-length
interpretive literary analysis until now. In Edwidge Danticat: The
Haitian Diasporic Imaginary, Nadege T. Clitandre offers a
comprehensive analysis of Danticat's exploration of the dialogic
relationship between nation and diaspora. Clitandre argues that
Danticat-moving between novels, short stories, and
essays-articulates a diasporic consciousness that acts as a form of
social, political, and cultural transformation at the local and
global level. Using the echo trope to approach Danticat's
narratives and subjects, Clitandre effectively navigates between
the reality of diaspora and imaginative opportunities that
diasporas produce. Ultimately, Clitandre calls for a reconstitution
of nation through a diasporic imaginary that informs the way people
who have experienced displacement view the world and imagine a more
diverse, interconnected, and just future.
