29956: Hilary Andersen - Request Asking





Hilary Andersen, email:  anderhi@earlham.edu

I am doing a literary text analysis of Edwidge Danticat's novel The
Farming of Bones for a senior thesis.  I am specifically examining her
fictional account of the 1937 Haitian massacre and the linguistic [myth?]
method of decapitating ethnic Haitians who lived on the D.R. side of
Massacre River because they could not pronounce "perejil."
I am looking for Haitian-author responses and anlyses of this event and
Danticat's book.  I need French-written sources.
Please let me know of any leads anyone might have?
