Dominique, Jean Metellus, Dany Laferriere, Yanick Lahens, Lyonel Trouillot et Edwidge Danticat sont quelques-uns des ecrivains haitiens dont l'ecriture est marquee par le contexte politique d'Haiti. Les regimes dictatoriaux ont, en effet, affecte l'espace creatif, imposant un certain nombre de contraintes auxquelles ces ecrivains, chacun a leur maniere, ont ingenieusement riposte et reagi. Ce recueil d'essais critiques et d'entretiens tente d'illustrer et d'analyser comment les oeuvres romanesques, poetiques et theatrales s'accommodent du " pays assiege " et deploient des strategies linguistiques et formelles permettant de transcender les forces d'oppression.

Dominique, Jean Metellus, Dany Laferriere, Yanick Lahens, Lyonel Trouillot and Edwidge Danticat are some of the Haitian writers whose writing is marked by Haiti's political history.

This collection of essays and interviews illustrates and analyzes the various ways in which the fictional, poetic and theatrical texts transcend the forces of oppression through linguistic and formal strategies.
