Tactical Partnerships in an Awkward Dance to Commodify Identities within Haiti's Transnational Space
This article analyzes the outcomes of a fortuitous gathering that brought together three groups of Haitians of different nationalities and of very distinctive financial circumstances at a festival to celebrate the patron saint of Ré, a small rural community located in Haiti's South Department. It shows the ways in which, Ré, although poor, neglected, and isolated, became, during that relatively brief period, the site of an encounter that transfor…

Race, blood, disease and citizenship: The making of the Haitian-Americans and the Haitian immigrants into 'the others' during the 1980s-1990s Aids crisis
This article traces the ‘otherisation’ of US denizens of Haitian descent during the 1980s and 1990s, subsequent to their incorporation into the ‘4-H club’ as ‘Haitians’, regardless of their citizenship. It argues that by collapsing the categories Haitian-Americans and Haitian immigrants into ‘Haitians’ and by accusing this collectivity of bringing HIV/AIDS to the United States, the US medical and political leadership and sectors of the media null…

Modern Diasporas in the Age of Globalization
The historic upsurge in international migration during the past fifty years has affected communities around the world at both the macro and micro levels. Correspondingly, public opinion and policymakers in the societies that send and receive immigrants have expressed renewed interest in and have given increasing attention to migration-related issues and concerns. In the same vein, a resurgence of scholarship in the field of migration study has oc…
All in the Family: Gender, Transnational Migration, and the Nation-State
Over the years, feminist scholarship has illuminated the ways in which genders are differentiated and gender hierarchies are constituted as part of the way women and men learn to identify with a nation‐state. Much less has been said about the social reproduction of gender in transnational spaces. These spaces are created as people emigrate, settle far from their homelands, and yet develop networks of connection that maintain familial, economic, r…

Terrains of blood and nation: Haitian transnational social fields
As have a growing number of political leaders of emigrant-sending countries, Haitian government officials and immigrant leaders have envisioned Haiti as a transnational nation-state. This article explores the ways in which the vision of Haiti as a transnational nation builds upon the experiences, needs and aspirations of both persons living in Haiti and those who have settled in the United States. Using a concept of 'transnational social field', …
Everywhere we go, We are in danger: Ti Manno and the emergence of a Haitian transnational identity
The lyrics of Ti Manno, a popular Haitian singer, and the short-lived Ti Manno movement are examined in order to elucidate the factors that shape the multiple and overlapping identities of Haitian immigrants. It is argued that, as black immigrants, Haitians tend to be "transnationals" who form identities that allow them to accommodate to and resist realities of race and class in both Haiti and the United States. [transnationalism, ethnic identity…
