Coates explains that: Merely to place these natural phenomena in a semiological category or “mythical” or “allegorical” characters is to miss the point. This is rather, pure “marvelous realism” as conceived by Alexis in the wake of Carpentier. It is the reality of the world as experienced by the Haitian people, a “marvelous” way of apprehending reality, which is to say that it is a form of psychological or spiritual vision. — From the introduction Carrol F. Coates’ translation provides readers, new to Jacques Stéphen Alexis, with an extensive introduction to his literary work, with sections on the cultural and political background of Alexis’ time, the reception and significance of his literary works, descriptions of characters, the multilingual dimension of the text (six in total), and religion. Finally, the book also includes an extensive glossary of words and a guide to Kreyòl pronunciation. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Alexis, Jacques Stéphen, 1922-1961.

Coates … The night was marked by an exceptional aura—a night that was coal black, sidereal, looming, and sprinkled with stars. Caressing the earth soothingly and without the slightest sound, the nocturnal breeze was almost ethereal. Framing the entrance to the Nan-Remanbrans sanctuary, the bare, swelling boles of two flamboyants formed enormous, athletically muscled thighs. The powerful branches inter-twined like pairs of human limbs with massive biceps, knotted knees, twisted calves, herculean bulges-trees that were virtually human, monstrous titans brandishing thirty arms and twenty legs. A crowd of horses and mules snorted along the fences as other animals kept arriving over the creviced roads. The papalwa, priests young and old, kept crowding in with an aura of mystery enveloping their heads. A great white towel, sparkling immaculately, was displayed in the very middle of the gate. Dressed in a white robe with a blue sash tied around her waist, the “Empress “was welcoming those arriving. This was Madame Ange Desameaux herself, the buxom wife of the tax collector, an ounsi, a servant of Manbo-Nanan, the spirit of wisdom and of azure, the mother of all the Grenadier spirits. Standing in the dust with bare feet, she was silently welcoming them with a double handshake and leading them across the courtyard to the sanctuary. Ayizan-the wife of Atibon Legba and the spirit of sweet water, markets, gateways, and highways, the chief goddess of the orthodox Arada Olympus-was lighting a fire in the great hearth a few steps from the temple. Close by Bwadòm, Dada, his aging wife, was taking care of other business. Their granddaughter Harmonise was blowing on the fire beneath a great humming cauldron of boiling water for coffee. Standing with her black face over the flames, glowing sparks were burning her tender, resplendent face: there were ruddy spots around her delicate, sharp little nose, her swelling cheeks were golden, a blue luminosity shone beneath her almond-shaped eyes, and streams of light played over her bare, skinny little arm, wrapped around Dada’s leg … — Pages 621–628 Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Alexis, Jacques Stéphen, 1922-1961.

Description An account of the resource "Diplomatic exchanges between Haitian executive officials have been commonplace since the nineteenth century. This photo captures one of several meetings between Dominican President Rafael Trujillo (in military attire) and Haitian president Sténio Vincent who met on both sides of the border to negotiate and display amicable ties between the two nations. Strikingly, these negotiations took place during years and months that preceded the massacre of Haitians ordered by Rafael Trujillo in 1937, highlighting the limits of the diplomatic negotiations. After the massacre, the Haitian government did little to condemn Trujillo’s actions, to the dismay of intellectuals including Jacques Roumain, who wrote about and denounced the massacre at the time." p. 255 Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Crumbie, Frank R., -1960.

Gallimard. Description An account of the resource This novel centers on characters who are representatives of the arduous life of the Haitian peasantry and working class. The story takes place against a backdrop of abusive Haitian government officials under the presidency of Sténio Vincent (1930–1941), the American occupation signified by the ongoing presence of the Marines (1915–1934), an apathetic bourgeois class, and the migration to the sugar cane fields of the Dominican Republic where the structure of oppression is replicated under the Trujillo government and manifested through the Parsley [or “perejil” and “pelehil”] Massacre in 1937 with the complicity of the Haitian government. The text is enlivened with the rich textures of nature manifesting her own agency to the point of personification, street scenes, the colorful speech and complex depictions of individuals who become aware of and resist the structures that oppress them, both in Haiti and the Dominican Republic, as they strive toward the highest ideals of personhood. Tout à coup, il eut un pétillement devant les yeux, une effloraison de comètes blondes, aux grandes eaux rayonnantes, qui inondaient le ciel. “Claire, cria-t-il, est-ce le soleil? C’est le vieux Compère Soleil qui vient me voir! Il a toujours été avec moi ... Je te vois encore, Claire, dit-il, doucement. Je me sens bien, il y a comme une douceur dans tout mon corps, je me sens léger, je me sens comme si je flottais dans l’air … C’est le soleil! Le jour ne devait-il pas venir? ... Le soleil ne m’a jamais manqué … Quand je devins boeuf-à-la-chaine [Appellation de l’employé aux bagages des autocars], il me brûlait les yeux tout au long des routes, sur le toit du camion où j’étais assis. Quand je fus corroyeur à la tannerie, c’est lui qui m’aidait à supporter l’odeur des peaux vives; lorsque je tournais la roue à la tournerie de bois, près de la cathédrale protestante, ensuite souffleur de forge à la fonderie, puis aide-ferblantier, et tant d’autres choses encore, dans toute ma vie il a été là … Général Soleil est un grand nègre, c’est l’ami des pauvres nègres, le papa, il ne montre qu’un seul oeil jaune aux chrétiens vivants, mail il lutte pour nous à chaque instant, et nous indique la route.” — Pages 340–341 Suddenly, there was a sparkle in front of his eyes, an explosion of yellow comets and rays of liquid inundating the sky. “Claire,” he yelled, “is that the sun? Is it my old Brother Sun who has come to see me? He has always been with me ... ” “… I still see you, Claire, he said softly. ‘I feel fine.’ A good feeling seems to be spreading through my body. I feel light, as if I were floating in the air. It’s the sun. Daybreak finally had to come, didn’t it!” “ … The sun has never failed me. When I became a bèfchenn [baggage handler on a truck], he burned my eyes as I sat on the roof of the kamyon [truck or pickup used for public transportation, sometimes with benches installed] all along the road. When I became a currier at the tannery, he was the one who helped me to stand the smell of raw hides. When I turned the wheel at the woodworking shop and worked the bellows for the forge at the foundry, and then a tinsmith, and so many other trades, he was always there … General Sun is a great man—he has always been the friend of poor black men, the guiding spirit who shows only one yellow eye to the living, but he fights for us at each turn and always shows us the way.” — Pages 340–341 https://scholar.library.miami.edu/digital/files/original/b8ac996f401b7cd5b2ba65a77e594019.jpg dad41070d4c486641df0187efecac388 Still Image A static visual representation.
