Abstract

Abstract:

An area of the Francophone world with strong and unique historical connections to the United States, Haiti and her rich culture have only been superficially exploited in the study of French language and Francophone culture. This article argues for not only including, but privileging the study of Haiti in courses focusing upon Francophone culture. Several aspects of Haitian culture are treated, with ideas for classroom activities and readings. So full of potential for stimulating the interest of American students, Haiti should be neglected no longer.
