Description

We wish to offer in these pages a space for feminist reflection on the border. We open this issue with those who have crossed several borders only to be pushed back within those of Haiti.


This new issue renews our feminist commitment and our commitment to the Haitian nation's project: freedom, justice and equality.


What do borders do to bodies? This is the question explored by writer Edwidge Danticat in her essay. Living, but not here, but what do we bring when we go there? Playwright and actress Gaëlle Bien-Aimé, professor Nathalie Batraville and publishing director Fania Noël explore the art of remaking with what remains, what is lost and what is given. If the border can be crossed, it can also be inhabited. Director Gessica Généus and photographer Keylah Mellon offer us a reflective look at their work, identity and their reception from the outside.

And because there is a border that we must all cross, leaving our traces for others to come, we are publishing in this issue the second part of Shanna Jean-Baptiste's article on the woman of tomorrow by Jean Price-Mars. We are pleased to close this issue with a text by Wyddiane Prophète that pays tribute to the illustrious anthropologist Suzanne Comhair-Sylvain who crossed and inhabited several borders. We are publishing it in recognition and gratitude for her work and embracing our responsibility as Haitian feminists to combat the invisibility of Haitian women in their daily lives and their posterity as intellectuals, artists, activists or women of letters.
