Link: H-Net Haiti Interview

I was recently interviewed on H-Net Haiti about my new English translation of an old Haitian novel. Fernand Hibbert's Les Simulacres was published in 1923 during the United States' Occupation of Haiti. It's a comedic and poignant look at the pretensions of powerful nations from the perspective of the underdeveloped world. A classic of Haitian literature, is is still studied and enjoyed in the country today.  My translation, Pretenders, contains valuable insights for ongoing issues of sovereignty and development in Haiti.
