In <i>Breath, Eyes, Memory</i>, Danticat explores the relationship between women and the nationalist agenda of the state [i] during the <a href="/wiki/Duvalier_dynasty" title="Duvalier dynasty">Duvalier</a> regime. Throughout the novel, as generations of women "test" their daughters, by penetrating their vaginas with a finger to confirm their virginity, they "become enforcers," or proxies, of the state's "violence and victimization" of black women's bodies (376–377) [i], similar to the paramilitary secret police <a href="/wiki/Tonton_Macoutes" class="mw-redirect" title="Tonton Macoutes">Tonton Macoutes</a>. However, while the women of <i>Breath, Eyes, Memory</i> replicate "state-sanctioned" control and violation of women's bodies through acts of violence (375), they also "disrupt and challenge the masculinist, nationalist discourse" of the state by using their bodies "as deadly weapons" (387) [i]. Evidence for this claim can be drawn from Martine's suicide, seen as a tragic exhibition of freedom, releasing her body, and mind, from its past traumas [i]. Additionally, the novel demonstrates some inherent difficulties of creating a diasporic identity, as illustrated through Sophie's struggle between uniting herself with her heritage and abandoning what she perceives to be the damaging tradition of 'testing,' suggesting the impossibility of creating a resolute creolized personhood [ii]. Finally, Danticat's work, The Farming of Bones, speaks to the stories of those who survived the 1937 massacre, and the effects of that trauma on Haitian identity [iv]. Overall, Danticat makes known the history of her nation while also diversifying conceptions of the country beyond those of victimization [iii]. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Mother-daughter_relationships">Mother-daughter relationships</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Edwidge_Danticat&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Mother-daughter relationships"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Danticat's <i>Breath, Eyes, Memory</i> explores the centrality of the mother-daughter relationship to self-identity and self-expression [v].

Just as Martine was forced to submit to a virginity test at the hand of her own mother, she forces the same on Sophie after discovering her relationship with Joseph. As a result, Sophie goes through a period of self- hate, ashamed to show anyone her body, including her husband (80) [viii]. Sophie's struggles to overcome frigidity in relation to intimacy with her husband Joseph, as well as her bulimia parallels Martine's struggle bear a child with Marc to term, as well her insomnia, and detrimental eating habits (61–62) [v]. Due to Martine's rape by a Tonton Macoute and Sophie's abuse by her mother, "each woman must come to terms with herself before she can enter into a healthy relationship with a man, and these men attempt to meet these women on the latter's own terms" (68) [vi]. The pinnacle of this mirroring comes when Sophie chooses to be her mother's Marassa, a double of herself for her mother, to share the pain, the trials and the tribulations, the ultimate connection: to become one with her mother. Marassas represent "sameness and love" as one, they are "inseparable and identical. They love each other because they are alike and always together" [vii]. This connection between Sophie and her mother Martine has also been challenged through Sophie's own connection with her daughter Brigitte: "Martine's totally nihilistic unwillingness to begin again with the draining responsibilities of motherhood comments upon and stands in stark contrast to Sophie's loving desire to bring her daughter Brigitte into the welcoming" (79) [viii]. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Diasporic_politics">Diasporic politics</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Edwidge_Danticat&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Diasporic politics"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Scholars agree that Danticat manages her relationship with her Haitian history and her bicultural identity through her works by creating a new space within the political sphere. In <i>Breath, Eyes, Memory</i>, Danticat employs the "idea of mobile traditions" as a means of creating new space for Haitian identity in America, one that is neither a "happy hybridity" nor an "unproblematic creolization" of <a href="/wiki/Flatbush_Brooklyn" class="mw-redirect" title="Flatbush Brooklyn">Flatbush Brooklyn</a> (28) [ix]. Danticat's open reference to and acceptance of her Caribbean predecessors, especially through the "grand narratives of the dead iconic fathers of <a href="/wiki/Haitian_literature" title="Haitian literature">Haitian literature</a>," creates a "new community [...] in luminal extra-national spaces" that "situates her narrative" in a place that is neither "absolute belonging" nor "postcolonial placelessness" (34) [ix]. Suggestive of the Haitian literary movement Indigenism, in which works sought to connect to the land of Haiti and the "plight of the peasant class" (55) [x], Sophie's complex reality in <i>Breath, Eyes, Memory</i> encapsulates the transnational experience (61) [x]. Translations of <i>Breath, Eyes, Memory</i>, especially those in France, contain slight alterations and "clumsy" replacement of <a href="/wiki/Haitian_Creole_language" class="mw-redirect" title="Haitian Creole language">creol</a>/Caribbean terms that shift the empowered stance of Danticat's works to one of victimization, mirroring the fight authors face for a new political space in which dual Caribbean identity is accepted (68) [x]. Danticat's short story cycles in <i>Krik? Krak!</i> demonstrates "a symbolic weaving together" of her works and the transnational communities, including "Haitians, immigrants, women, [and] mothers and daughters," that she attempts to unite (75) [xi]. Through her "voicing the intersubjective experience of a community," Danticat distinguishes herself from other Haitian prose authors (73, 76) [xi]. She creates a space for the "voicelessness" of those unable to "speak their individual experience" (76) [xi]. Danticat's short stories uphold an undivided experience, one that politically aligns itself with an "egalitarian regime of rights and the rule of law" (81) [xi]. The political space in which such a single experience can exist is the means through which Danticat's transnational identity and her characters can survive. </p><p>Another work of Danticat's is her travel narrative <i>After the Dance: A Walk through Carnival in Jacmel, Haiti</i> (2002). She believes it provides readers with an inside look and feel of Haiti's cultural legacy, practices related to Lent, its Carnival, and the <a href="/wiki/Haitian_Revolution" title="Haitian Revolution">Haitian Revolution</a>. She embarks on a journey through her work to recover the lost cultural markers of Haiti while also being marked by the Haitian geopolitical privilege and by her own privilege of mobility.<sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Due to her active traveling privilege, she considered herself an "outsider" of Jacmel even though she did originate from Haiti. She explains: "This is the first time I will be an active reveler at a carnival in Haiti. I am worried that such an admission would appear strange for someone for whom carnival is one of life's passions...As a child living in Haiti...I had never been allowed to 'join the carnival' ... it was considered not safe for me...Since I had an intense desire to join the carnival as some peculiar American children have of joining the circus, my uncle for years spun frightening tales around it to keep me away." She said in her narrative of going back to Jacmel, "I was still wearing my own mask of a distant observer." Because of this, she advises her reader to observe her work from the perspective of a diasporic returnee rather than of an insider.<sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Awards_and_honors">Awards and honors</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Edwidge_Danticat&action=edit&section=7" title="Edit section: Awards and honors"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Danticat has won fiction awards from <i><a href="/wiki/Essence_(magazine)" title="Essence (magazine)">Essence</a></i> and <i><a href="/wiki/Seventeen_(American_magazine)" title="Seventeen (American magazine)">Seventeen</a></i> magazines, was named "1 of 20 people in their twenties who will make a difference" in <i><a href="/wiki/Harper%27s_Bazaar" title="Harper's Bazaar">Harper's Bazaar</a></i>,<sup id="cite_ref-herald_12-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-herald-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> was featured in <i><a href="/wiki/The_New_York_Times_Magazine" title="The New York Times Magazine">The New York Times Magazine</a></i> as one of "30 under 30" people to watch,<sup id="cite_ref-guardian_1-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-guardian-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-herald_12-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-herald-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and was called one of the "15 Gutsiest Women of the Year" by <i><a href="/wiki/Jane_(magazine)" title="Jane (magazine)">Jane</a></i> magazine.<sup id="cite_ref-herald_12-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-herald-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <ul><li>1994: Fiction Award <i><a href="/wiki/The_Caribbean_Writer" class="mw-redirect" title="The Caribbean Writer">The Caribbean Writer</a></i></li> <li>1995: Woman of Achievement Award, Barnard College</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Pushcart_Prize" title="Pushcart Prize">Pushcart Short Story Prize</a> for "Between the Pool and the Gardenias"</li> <li><a href="/wiki/National_Book_Award" title="National Book Award">National Book Award</a> nomination for <i>Krik?
