It is an impor- tant part of my prolonged meditation on how to “ . remember those who are suffering, as though you yourselves were suffering” (Hebrews 13:3). Many have said that it takes a village for a book to be researched, written and published. I am blessed to have a vast village that spans cities, coun- tries, and continents. It is a village made up of family, academic, cultural, intellectual, and spiritual relationships that feed, sustain and grow me—I am filled with gratitude for the provision of these different villages. I began working on this project as a graduate student in the Depart- ment of Romance Languages and Literatures at Harvard University. I am so grateful to the members of my dissertation committee: Alice Jardine, Abiola Irele, and Odile Cazenave. Alice always pushed me to boldly claim my feminist space and the stakes of my intervention. Abiola came to Har- vard at a key moment when those of us specializing in francophone lit- eratures were in need of his intellectual breadth. Odile is a generous soul who continues to provide guidance as a literary critic, dynamic teacher, and example of commitment to the field. When I first began delve into the vast topic of violence Mary Beth Clack showed me how indispensible thorough and thoughtful librarians are. I am also grateful to Tom and Ver- ena Conley who provided me with a village in Kirkland House where I benefited from their support both professionally and personally. When we ix x • Acknowledgments formed Black Graduate Ministries (BGM) during my last year on campus it became another village, rooted in faith, that helped to usher me out of Harvard. Through BGM I was blessed to meet future lifelong friends in Ben and Lilly Piper. I am incredibly thankful to many professors, mentors, and administra- tors at the University of Pennsylvania where I began my journey into the academy. I was first encouraged to become a scholar by Herman Beavers, Valarie Swain-Cade McCoullum, Pat Ravenell, and the late Susan Peterson- Pace under the auspices of the Mellon-Mays Mentoring Program. Lydie Moudileno brought me into the exciting field of francophone studies. By introducing me to black feminist theories, my mentor Farah Jasmine Griffin left an indelible mark that I will always cherish; it is from dear Dr. Farah that I first learned the importance of being an academic who engages both head and heart. I am thankful to the Carter G. Woodson Institute for African and Afri- can American Studies at the University of Virginia where I had the privi- lege of being a postdoctoral fellow. At U. Va. Deborah McDowell offered important counsel at a critical moment in my career. Luann Williams, Robert Fatton and Cynthia Hoehler-Fatton made Charlottesville feel like home. At Boston College this project transformed and matured significantly, and I am so grateful for my colleagues and friends who have been instru- mental in the process. I was warmly welcomed into the Department of Romance Languages and Literatures where I learned the meaning of col- legiality. I am especially grateful to Sarah Beckjord, Matilda Bruckner, Ourida Mostefai, Elisa Rhodes, and Laurie Shepard for their guidance and support. Ourida’s commitment to junior faculty mentoring has benefited me tremendously over the years. I am also grateful to Franco Mormando, who served as chair when I was in the final stages of the book. Kevin Newmark has gone beyond the call of duty as a reliable mentor who is incredibly generous with time and resources. Many thanks to David Quig- ley and Larry McLaughlin, who provided financial support through gener- ous subvention grants. Thank you so much to Larry Busenbark from BC’s library who was always available (and incredibly quick!) to help with my research related inquires. I am especially thankful to Pat de Leeuw for her wisdom and support over the years. I cannot say enough about the African and African Diaspora Studies Program: Shawn Copeland, Rhonda Frederick, Shawn McGuffey, Martin Summers, and Cynthia Young. It is an honor to be on this team of amazing Acknowledgments • xi thinkers. Cyn has taught me so much about navigating the academy, from her rigorous work ethic to her dazzling strategic mind. Rhonda is the per- fect combination of senior colleague, beloved friend, attentive mentor, and big sister. Martin Summers’s quiet brilliance, constant thoughtfulness, and wise counsel have meant so much to me. Shawn McGuffey has been a valu- able interlocutor who understands what it means to work on sexual vio- lence as not merely research, but as a deeper calling. I am also thankful to Zine Magubane, who was always available to discuss anything ranging from African feminisms to popular culture. I am grateful to my students at BC who have endured my lectures and ruminations on this difficult topic with curiosity and patience. Thank you to the students in my Black Feminisms and Femmes francophones classes for reminding me that cultivat- ing a feminist classroom is an important part of eradicating a rape culture. Didem Alkan deserves special thanks for volunteering to proofread pas- sages of the manuscript, as does my mentee Crystal Philippeaux, whose excitement about the project and concern for my wellbeing always warmed my heart. I owe an intellectual debt and infinite gratitude to my magnificent writing group, the New England Black Scholars Collective: Aliyyah Abdur-Rahman, Sandy Alexandre, Nicole Aljoe, Alisa Braithwaite, Soyica Colbert, Stéphanie Larrieux, Monica Ndounou, and Sam Vasquez.

The cases were ranked and chosen according to the quality of the data, the compelling nature of the story, demonstration of learning, and diversity of representation in terms of geography and type of intervention. While the majority of information in the Cultivating Women’s Empowerment: Stories from Feed the Future 2011-2015 came from these twenty cases, it was not possible to include everything. In the spirit of learning and transparency, all of the original case submissions are compiled here and are available for download on USAID’s Agrilinks website. They are a complimentary piece to the publication and showcase the broader set of activities happening around gender integration and women’s empowerment in Feed the Future programs. The cases are organized alphabetically by region and by country. 1 See the Call for Cases here: https://agrilinks.org/blog/call-cases-feed-future-programs-learning- gender-integration-and-women%E2%80%99s-empowerment.

  • Refiguring Masculinity in Haitian Literature of Dictatorship, 1968-2010
    NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY Dictating Manhood: Refiguring Masculinity in Haitian Literature of Dictatorship, 1968-2010 A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS for the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Field of French and Francophone Studies By Ara Chi Jung EVANSTON, ILLINOIS March 2018 2 Abstract Dictating Manhood: Refiguring Masculinity in Haitian Literature of Dictatorship, 1968- 2010 explores the literary representations of masculinity under dictatorship. Through the works of Marie Vieux Chauvet, René Depestre, Frankétienne, Georges Castera, Kettly Mars and Dany Laferrière, my dissertation examines the effects of dictatorship on Haitian masculinity and assesses whether extreme oppression can be generative of alternative formulations of masculinity, especially with regard to power. For nearly thirty years, from 1957 to 1986, François and Jean-Claude Duvalier imposed a brutal totalitarian dictatorship that privileged tactics of fear, violence, and terror. Through their instrumentalization of terror and violence, the Duvaliers created a new hegemonic masculinity articulated through the nodes of power and domination. Moreover, Duvalierism developed and promoted a masculine identity which fueled itself through the exclusion and subordination of alternative masculinities, reflecting the autophagic reflex of the dictatorial machine which consumes its own resources in order to power itself. My dissertation probes the structure of Duvalierist masculinity and argues that dictatorial literature not only contests dominant discourses on masculinity, but offers a healing space in which to process the trauma of the dictatorship. 3 Acknowledgements There is a Korean proverb that says, “백지장도 맞들면 낫다.” It is better to lift together, even if it is just a blank sheet of paper. It means that it is always better to do something with the help of other people, even something as simple as lifting a single sheet of paper.

  • Mathilde Pierre Weak Judicial Systems And
    Mathilde Pierre Weak Judicial Systems and Systematic Sexual Violence against Women and Girls: The Socially Constructed Vulnerability of Female Bodies in Haiti This thesis has been submitted on this day of April 16, 2018 in partial fulfillment of the degree requirements for the NYU Global Liberal Studies Bachelor of Arts degree. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS First and foremost, I would like to thank my thesis advisor, Professor Emily Bauman, who has guided me through every step in the year-long process of writing my thesis. The time and energy she invested in thoroughly reading and commenting on my work, in recommending other avenues of further research, and in pushing me to deepen my analysis were truly invaluable. I would also like to express my sincere gratitude to Professor Joyce Apsel who, although abroad in Florence, Italy, set aside time to speak with me over Skype, to comment on my rough draft, and to advise me on the approach of my argument in my thesis. I would additionally like to thank all of the individuals who set aside considerable time to meet with me for interviews in Port-au-Prince, most notably Attorney Claudy Gassant, Attorney Rosy Auguste, Attorney Marie Alice Belisaire, Attorney Giovanna Menard, Judge Jean Wilner Morin, Carol Pierre-Paul Jacob, Marie Yolaine Gilles, and Officer Guerson Joseph. Finally I extend a heartfelt thank you to my parents, Mathias and Gaëlle Pierre, who greatly assisted in connecting me with the individuals I interviewed and whose constant support and encouragement helped me to push through in the completion of my thesis. 1 ABSTRACT Widespread sexual violence against women and girls in Haiti is a phenomenon that largely persists due to a failure to prosecute male perpetrators and enforce the domestic and international laws that exist to criminalize rape.

Cette année, l’accent est porté sur l’histoire et l’évolution la musique en Guadeloupe : « Mizik : éritaj, lyannaj, migannaj ». Le bulletin officiel numéro 32 du 8 septembre 2011 portant sur les programmes de l’enseignement du créole à l’école encourage fortement les enseignants à aider l’élève à « développer sa sensibilité aux différences et à la diversité culturelle » L’acquisition des connaissances relatives aux modes de vie et à la culture du pays où vivent nos élèves reste un point fort mais aussi une grande richesse. La semaine du créole à l’école n’est pas uniquement consacrée simplement à l’enseignement de la langue, elle permet aussi de lancer le thème qui sera travaillé tout au long de l’année scolaire. L’académie a mis à la disposition des enseignants depuis 2001, deux conseillers pédagogiques qui peuvent aider au quotidien et assurer un accompagnement permanent des différents projets. Des formations sont dispensées chaque année en direction des enseignants. Le nombre de collègues habilités à enseigner la langue vivante régionale est en constante progression et nous devons intensifier les efforts. La « semaine du créole » doit être l’affaire de tous les enseignants exerçant sur le territoire. Des pistes de travail vous sont proposées, des projets sont initiés avec le concours de partenaires.
