    Dany Laferriere, Carrol F CoatesARTICLECallaloo2014

    from Journal of a Writer in Pajamas* Dany Laferrière (bio) Translated by Carrol F. Coates (bio) 68. The Great Writer What a bizarre expression! Thegreatwriter. Does that mean that he is incapable of writing anything bad from now on? He clearly knows that it is impossible to write anything at all without anxiety forming a little lump in the breast. There is no Zen writer. You can pretend to be one. Our man forgets the reason that led him to desire…

  • Christopher Hodson. The Acadian Diaspora: An Eighteenth-Century History

    Carrol F Coates, C COATESARTICLEThe American Historical Review2013

    Historiographically, Acadians have seldom been so popular among outside audiences as they have of late. Major studies by John Mack Faragher, Geoffrey Plank, Naomi Griffiths, and Jean-François Mouhot have retold parts of the story of the growth and expulsion of this rural French-speaking Catholic community from Nova Scotia, victims of the Seven Years' War. Despite their desire to remain “neutral French,” as some termed Acadians after the territory…

  • From La petite Peule

    Mariama Barry, Carrol F CoatesARTICLECallaloo2008

    From La petite Peule* Mariama Barry (bio) Translated by Carrol F. Coates For several days, I had been in the grip of a vague uneasiness, without knowing why. I could have figured out a real threat by hidden signs, the way you stalk small game on the savannah. I was powerless when it happened. Even yesterday, I was happy just listening to the sound of the beads strung around my skinny waist. These beads were on several strings of multi-colored loz…

  • A Fictive History of C te d'Ivoire: Kourouma and ?Fouphouai

    Carrol F CoatesARTICLEResearch in African Literatures2007

    Ahmadou Kourouma's final (posthumous) novel, Quand on refuse, on dit non, clearly presents the late President Houphouët-Boigny as the vaillain from the modern history of independent Côte d'Ivoire. The goal of this study is to trace the presence of Houphouët in Kourouma's five published novels, from the allusions to a dictatorial president who indulges in arbitrary arrests, torture, and execution (Les soleils des independences), over a rapid histo…

    Carrol F CoatesARTICLECallaloo2007

    Callaloo's Thirtieth:Haiti, the Caribbean, and Elsewhere . . . Carrol F. Coates (bio) Since Charles H. Rowell and I first met, as members of the same panel at the second annual meeting of the Haitian Studies Association (Tufts University, October 1990), the coverage of the journal has broadened significantly. A diversity of cultures from the Americas, including the Caribbean, has been highlighted, along with writing by African-American writers. T…

  • From The Biblical Register of Final Deeds

    Patrick Chamoiseau, Carrol F CoatesARTICLECallaloo2001

    Deborah had inscribed some utterances that were a bit curious, as if they had been written under hypnosis. Verbs were scarce, prepositions, conjunctions, and punctuation were non-existent. As for their very meaning, they seemed to belong to delirium rather than to description. I had to redo all of it myself, as a sort of translation that flattened everything, but which allowed me to imagine better that sort of mental fever, that state by which th…

  • A Return to Jacmel

    René Depestre, Carrol F CoatesARTICLECallaloo2001

    Doctor Herve Braget arrived in Jacmel one Saturday afternoon on a big red motorcycle with sparkling metal and making the noise of an assault tank. He took a turn around the little southwestern Haitian city before stopping at the Place d'Armes in front of the villa that his father had just turned into a clinic for him. Dr. Braget was the first Haitian from Jacmel to bring back from the University of Paris the title of hospital intern. His arrival …

You will remain president and the greatest general of the Republic of the Gulf as long as Allah (may he spare us for years and years to come!) does not take from you the breath that animates you. You are a hunter! Along with Ramses II and Sundyata, you will remain one of the three greatest hunters of human kind. Remember the name of Koyaga, hunter and President-Dictator o…

    A Country Wedding * Dany Laferrière (bio) Translated by Carrol F. Coates (bio) Dany Laferrière: A Special Section I had completely forgotten the exhibit of Jacques Gabriel’s latest paintings in that stylish art gallery in Pétionville. Carl Henri is the friend who, for some time, has been hounding me about his Jacques Gabriel. Jacques this, Jacques that. Jacques Gabriel is some sort of demigod for him: talented, modern, iconoclastic, a free spirit…

    Franktienne Frankétienne, Carrol F CoatesARTICLECallaloo1996

    Les Affres D’un DéfiAn Excerpt Frankétienne (bio) The paths of Legba intertwine deep in the woods where the sacred stones lie; they become entangled beneath our feet, infiltrate our nerves, stir up our blood, flow through our bodies, electrify our senses. How far will the expiatory road excavated within the pain of self-examination lead? We awaken early; through the keyhole, we watch the zonbi go by, single file; shortly before dawn every morning…
