Duvalier's Ghosts by Jana Evans Braziel
From a position of urgent political engagement, this provocative book offers novel and compelling interpretations of several well-known Haitian-born authors, particularly regarding U.S. intervention in their homeland. Drawing on the diasporic cultural texts of several authors, Jana Evans Braziel examines how writers participate in transnational movements for global social justice.

“A very original study, a tour-de-force that crisscrosses the disciplinary boundaries typically separating the social sciences and the humanities. It is richly researched, beautifully written, and will surely attract much critical attention and praise.”--Valerie Kaussen, University of Missouri.
