The Butterfly's Way: Voices from the Haitian Dyaspora in the United States [Idioma Inglés] - Softcover

Praise for The Butterfly's Way

"A volume that movingly describes the various facets of the Haitian migration experience . . . The Butterfly's Way is the story of a people in transition, struggling to find a comfort zone between their land of origin and their land(s) of resettlement. It provides powerful images of the inner souls of displaced persons, living between two worlds and carrying a heavy baggage of things past."
--Afro-Hispanic Review

"An assembly of writings by writers of Haitian descent--the first of its kind . . . An astonishing, stirring addition not only to the heretofore thin canon of Haitian-American literature, but to American literature. Period."
--Research in African Literatures

"Varied, colorful, and interesting . . . Whether [the writers] are discussing childhood memories, interracial relationships, or returning home, their comments are always illuminating."
--Library Journal
