Dominique, Paulette Poujol Oriol, Lyonel Trouillot, Emmelie Proph?te, Ben Fountain, Dany Laferri?re, Georges Anglade, Edwidge Danticat, Mich?le Voltaire Marcelin,?zili Dant?, Marie-H?l?ne Laforest, Nick Stone, Maril?ne Phipps-Kettlewell, Myriam J.A.

This new volume collects the true classics of Haitian literature--both short stories and excerpts from longer works--and will be an integral piece to the understanding of how Haitian culture has evolved over the past fifty years. Editor Edwidge Danticat, one of the most respected Haitian writers, has a well-deserved sterling reputation, and here she follows on the success of the original first volume.
