He demonstrates this by a close examination of the relations between Haiti and the United States through the imaginative literature of both countries. The West‘s mythification of Haiti is a strategy used to justify either ostracism or domination, a process traced here from the nineteenth-century until it emerges with a voyeuristic fierceness in the 1960s. In an effort to resist these stereotypes, Haitian literature becomes a subversive manoeuvre permitting Haitians to ‘rewrite‘ themselves. The Unites States ‘invented‘ Haiti as a land of savagery and mystery, a source of evil and shame. Weaving together text and historical context, Dash discusses the durability of these images, which continue to shape official policy and popular attitudes today. | | 出版日期 | Book 1997Latest edition | | 關鍵詞 | argue; English literature; event; Haiti; Imagination; literature; policy; USA; weaving | | 版次 | 2 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-349-25219-0 | | isbn_softcover | 978-0-312-16490-4 | | isbn_ebook | 978-1-349-25219-0 | | copyright | Palgrave Macmillan, a division of Macmillan Publishers Limited 1997 |
