Memory in the Farming of Bones: A Critical Reader

This critical companion explores the role of memory in Haitian-born writer Edwidge Danticat’s The Farming of Bones. The reader hopes to give an overview of some of the critical innovations that Danticat introduces in the novel on bearing witness to violences that have been absented from public memory. This text was created as a joint project between graduate students at the The Graduate Center, CUNY and York College.
