Summary:

"This ... biography ... of Haitian public intellectual and writer, Jacques Roumain (1907-1944), explores his brief life within the context of his times -- the American Occupation of Haiti, the rise of fascism in Europe, racism in the U.S., and Marxism. An articulate witness and activist, Roumain exposed injustice through poetry, essays, novels, and short fiction. His political thought emerges through these works, several of which are included here in English translation" -- Publisher.
