Table of ContentsReviewsNarrating History, Home, and Dyaspora accomplishes a sustained interrogation of Danticat's canon--including her most recent works--in ways that lay the critical foundation not only for a reappraisal of the author's writing, but also her place within the larger discursive nexus of African diaspora writing or immigrant literature. Such a work is long overdue, and it makes a case for itself as the most exhaustive treatment of Danticat's expanding literary output.--Maxine Lavon Montgomery, editor of Conversations with Edwidge Danticat Narrating History, Home, and Dyaspora is an in-depth interdisciplinary collection of essays that engages the corpus of Edwidge Danticat in all its dimensions: novelist, short fiction writer, memoirist, essayist, activist, and public intellectual. The book also brings these different aspects of her work together by bringing to light the alternate histories and historiographies this extraordinary storyteller maps out in her work.--Carine M.
