Description: Clitandre's work is concerned with the ways in which home, dispersal, displacement, migration, diaspora, and various notions of exile, homelessness, and return are articulated and represented by Haitian women writers who contextualize these issues within the lived experiences of Haitian diasporic and transnational communities. Her analysis of the multiple discourses of writing about displacement and deterritorialization not only within the home and the nation, but also within new transnational frontiers, represents a crucial intervention in understanding the position of Haiti in the African Diaspora and the complexities of Haitian diasporic women's literature in challenging the systemization of power that has defined race and gender relations.
