HAITIAN WOMEN’S LONG MARCH: FROM SISTER TO MOTHER

Abstract

Since the first novel published in 1859, haitian novelists have traditionally described the necessity of democratic change and modernization of haitian society as a fight of brothers. In this fight, sisters have intervene first as auxiliary but more and more as leaders. According to the evolution of this tradition it appears that reconciliation of brothers will not be sufficient if there is no co-operation between brothers and sisters in their fight.
