Fanmi

Fanmi: the roles we inherit and the ones we choose.

A walk around everything family covers, and the gendered roles and places any Feminist approach to it has to reckon with. Doris Lapommeray invites us to refuse the archetype of the fanm potomitan, offered to Women as a reward. Darline Alexis questions the child’s absence, presence and pretext in Haitian literature, Michèle Lemoine writes on the family of artists and Jeanne-Elsa Chéry on Women in politics, and Sharma Aurélien takes stock of the Feminist fight around the households Women hold up alone.
