Over thirty fictional and non-fictional literary texts (novels, biographical narratives, memoirs, plays, poems, and travel writing), are given detailed attention alongside journalism, geo-political-historical accounts of the status quo on the island, and striking visual interventions (films, sculptures, paintings, photographs, videos and artistic performances), many of which are sustained and complemented by different forms of writing (newspaper cuttings, graffiti, captions, song lyrics, screenplay, tattoos).Dominican, Dominican-American, Haitian and Haitian-American writers and artists are put in dialogue with authors who were born in Europe, the rest of the Americas, Algeria, New Zealand, and Japan in order to illuminate some of the processes and histories that have woven and continue to weave the texture of the borderland and the complex web of border relations on the island. Particular attention is paid to the causes, unfolding, and immediate aftermath of the 1791 slave revolt, the 1937 massacre of Haitians and Haitian-Dominicans in the Dominican Northern borderland as well as to recent events and topical issues such as the 2010 earthquake, migration, and environmental degradation.On the Edge is an invaluable multicultural archive for those who want to engage fully with the past and present of Hispaniola and refuse to comply with the idea that an acceptable future is unattainable. 410 0$aAmerican tropics ;$v4. 606 $aBoundaries in literature 606 $aBorderlands in literature 606 $aDominican literature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aHaitian literature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aLiterature, Modern$xHistory and criticism 607 $aHispaniola$xIn literature 607 $aHaiti$xIn literature 607 $aDominican Republic$xIn literature 607 $aHaiti$xBoundaries$zDominican Republic 607 $aDominican Republic$xBoundaries$zHaiti 608 $aCriticism, interpretation, etc.$2fast 615 0$aBoundaries in literature. 615 0$aBorderlands in literature. 615 0$aDominican literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aHaitian literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aLiterature, Modern$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a809.93358097293 700 $aFumagalli$b Maria Cristina$01637136 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910813906303321 996 $aOn the edge$94046324 997 $aUNINA
