Mirabal, Nancy Raquel
- Abstract
Presents an interview with Haitian-born author Edwidge Danticat about the power of food to assuage "dyasporic longings" and to facilitate cultural imaginings and translations. She recounts how her father's ritual of cooking provides comfort and familiarity to friends and family arriving to New York from Haiti. She also talks about the Haitian Diaspora, the impact of globalization on Haitian writing and art, her decision to move to Miami, and the future direction of her work.
