The Afterlives of Global LGBT Human Rights in Haiti
I begin by elaborating the geopolitical context that facilitated the emergence of projects in the Global South to document homophobia and transphobia, focusing on one by New York-based organization Housing Works, Inc. Following the US federal government's declaration that "gay rights are human rights," the US State Department created the Global Equality Fund, which supported the creation of LGBT rights documentation projects by Silicon Valley-bas…
The Sexual Politics of Empire
The Sexual Politics of Empire develops a theory of postcolonial homophobia based on multi-sited ethnographic research in Haiti and its diaspora and extensive archival research between 2008 and 2016. Postcolonial homophobia refers to the effects of historical and contemporary Western imperialist biopolitical interventions to regulate, manage, control, govern, and liberate (trans)gender embodiments and (homo)sexuality. In particular, the book conte…
Anthropology and ableism
This article continues the tradition of writing about embodied knowledge production to highlight the underanalyzed issue of ableism, providing an opening for a disciplinary reckoning with oppressive legacies towards creating collective access in anthropology and academia. Building on the creative and collaborative labor of disabled and allied anthropologists, I argue that ableism is inherent to anthropology's disciplinary formations-especially ex…
Postcolonial Disablement and/as Transition
This article brings together black transgender studies and postcolonial studies to consider the possibility for trans* narratives of Haiti, known as the “Black Republic.” Based on ethnographic research with trani, trans*, and transgender Haitians, this article focuses on how one woman—“Kelly”—has built a life between Haiti, the Dominican Republic, and the United States. As the author argues, the 7.0 earthquake on January 12, 2010, is the most pro…
Nou Mache Ansanm(We Walk Together)
This special issue emerges from a symposium at Duke University in fall 2015, "Nou Mache Ansanm (We Walk Together): Performance, Gender, and Sexuality in Haiti," which brought scholars, artists, and
Performing postcolonial homophobia
This article analyzes a public demonstration against same-sex marriage in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. The author provides a thick description of this performance led by Protestant Haitians, focusing on creative displays of evangelical Christian antigay sexual politics. While the author intends to represent the demonstration in ways that are recognizable to its organizers and participants, the author comes at this project through a concern about the pu…
The Legacy of Assotto Saint
The Legacy of Assotto Saint:Tracing Transnational History from the Gay Haitian Diaspora Erin Durban-Albrecht Introduction This essay uses Michel-Rolph Trouillot’s notion of power and the production of history as a starting point to explore the ways that Assotto Saint (1957-1994), a gay Haitian American who was once a well-known player in the Black gay and AIDS activist cultural movements in the United States, is remembered and written about in co…
