The Tears of Hispaniola explores the ways in which Haitian and Dominican autobiography and fiction serve as public record--documenting violence, terror, memory, and human rights violations on the island of Hispaniola, home to the two nations of Haiti and the Dominican Republic. The book explores the works of four writers--Jean-Robert Cadet, Junot D�az, Loida Maritza Perez, and Edwidge Danticat--all of whom were born on and subsequently left the island. The author concludes these writers use an autobiographical format as a means of coming to terms with and bringing attention to the larger injustices still occurring on the island.
