The 2010 earthquake only exacerbated this contradiction. Despite the fact that Haitian authors have long treated the connections between political violence, precariousness, and ecological degradation, in media coverage around the world, the earthquake would have suddenly exposed scandalous conditions on the ground in Haiti. This book argues that contemporary Haitian literature historicizes the political and environmental problems brought to the surface by the earthquake by building on texts of earlier generations, especially at the end of the Duvalier era and its aftermath. Informed by Haitian studies and models of postcolonial ecocriticism, the book conceives of literature as an "eco-archive," or a body of texts that depicts ecological change over time and its impact on social and environmental justice. Focusing equally on established and less well-known authors, the book contends that the eco-archive challenges future-oriented, universalizing narratives of the Anthropocene and the global refugee crisis with portrayals of different forms and paths of migration and refuge within Haiti and around the Americas. 410 0$aContemporary French and francophone cultures. 606 $aHaitian literature$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aHaitian literature$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a803.010897294 700 $aWalsh$b John Patrick$01070613 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910474055403321 996 $aMigration and refuge$92564497 997 $aUNINA
