The other place in the family is that of the child. Darline Alexis invites us to question its absence/presence/pretext in Haitian literature.
The subject of the family we choose will also be discussed, with texts by Michèle Lemoine on the artistic family and by Jeanne-Elsa Chery on women in politics.
What about the family we inherit?: Sharma Aurelien presents us with an overview of feminist struggles around the issue of single-parent families that women hold together. The family and the couple remain for women the preferred space for patriarchal violence in all its forms; Stéphanie François and Dorvensca M. Isaac offer us two fictional texts on the subject.
It will also discuss the family from which incarcerated women are torn and the impossible bonds to rebuild with their children and loved ones upon release.

Sometimes, more than others, it is a family that chooses us: this is the case of Sergina Trenti and Jessica Lundi-Léandre, both born in Haiti and adopted by white French families.
