Michael Deibert’pa Ak Plim nan Yon Men ak Epe nan Lòt la: Ayiti ak Etazini nan Diznevyèm Syèk la examines Haiti’s first century, its role in liberation movements across the Americas, and its complicated relationship with the United States. Bringing fiction into conversation with historical nonfiction, the panel considers how private family histories intersect with a nation’s struggles, and what Haitians carry across generations and borders in memory, attachment, and aspiration. Dimitry Elias Léger’pa Death of the Soccer God follows Gilbert Chevalier from Port-au-Prince to New York and the 1950 World Cup in Brazil, exploring how family pressures, ambition, fame, and political violence can transform a life into national mythology. And in Micki Berthelot Morency’pa I Shall Find You, a Haitian mother’s separation from her newborn daughter sets in motion a story of adoption, migration, family secrets, and the search for one’s origins. Moderated by Fabienne Josaphat, otè Wayòm Pa Gen Demen. In English with Haitian Creole with interpretation.
