Drawing on the diasporic cultural texts of several authors, such as Edwidge Danticat and Dany Laferri ere, Jana Evans Braziel examines how writers participate in transnational movements for global social justice. In their fictional works they discuss the Unites States' many interventionist methods in Haiti, including surveillance, foreign aid, and military assistance.
