About the series: This series is inspired by the work of the three scholars: LaMothe, Delsoin and Prosper-Dougé. In an upcoming journal issue, The Rights to Live Creatively, they explore the complex ways Haitians live, love, create and commune despite and amongst oppressive structures of power, neo/colonial ideologies and exclusionary social relations in their homeland and abroad.
