35th Annual Conference:
Ayiti Se Tè Glise:
Im/Migration, Movement & In-Betweenness
October 5th – 8th, 2023
Morehouse College – Atlanta, Georgia
Ayiti se tè glise illuminates the notion that Haiti is an eternally shifting landscape. Haitians continuously move within their nation and also migrate to diasporic spaces. This adage also alludes to conflicting paradigms for Haitians in and beyond Haiti as they negotiate various cultural identities and navigate their liminality (i.e. Haitian-American, Haitian-Canadian, Haitian-Bahamian, Haitian-Dominican, etc.). Following the 2010 and 2021 earthquakes, many Haitians have migrated to South American countries such as Chile and Brazil. In recent years, numerous Haitians have traveled to Mexico in hopes of eventually journeying to the U.S. via California and Texas in search of a better future. Ever versatile in maneuvering their in-betweenness, Haitians continually forge new communities at home and transnationally with the power to transform Haiti’s future. How might Ayiti se tè glise provide a call for Haitian Studies to contend with the versatility, slippery nature, and instability of Haitian land, identities, concepts, constructs, and expressions?
