Caribbean immigrants have now become part of the social landscape of many American cities. Few studies, however, have treated in detail the process of their integration in American society. American Odyssey assesses the development and adaptation, in both human and socio-economic terms, of the Haitian immigrant community in three boroughs of New York City. An informed and well-rounded portrayal of a Caribbean community in New York, this book offers a fresh theoretical view of the structuring of urban ethnicity and provides the ethnographic background essential to understanding the problems of the Haitian population in the United States.

Pierre-Louis offers a new perspective on the strategies Haitian immigrants used to adapt to life in the United States and to shield themselves from the harsh discrimination they faced as a minority. Struggling to assimilate while continuing to maintain ties to their homeland, they transformed themselves from Third World exiles into transnational citizens. For the laborers and political refugees who left Haiti in the last half-century, class had always been more important than skin color as a barometer of social standing. To cope with the racial and cultural tensions they encountered, they established structures that allowed them to live a dual life and to preserve an ethnic identity distinct from that of African Americans. The groups they formed--"hometown associations"--emphasized their entrepreneurial spirit, cultural and linguistic heritage, and Haiti's glorious past as the first black republic. At the same time the associations offered them practical training, technical assistance, and networking opportunities. While the immigrants created a political identity in New York City, they also learned to access public resources and compete successfully with other ethnic and minority groups for recognition. In fact, Pierre-Louis shows, the hometown associations encouraged their desire to participate in New York City politics, a finding that turns much of the current literature on transnational politics on its head. The book also presents a background of Haitian migration into the United States, the Haitian government's contribution to that diaspora in the 1960s, and the history of such Haitian American neighborhoods as the West Side of Manhattan and the East Flatbush area in Brooklyn.

This book briefly delineates the history of the Haitian diaspora in the United States in the nineteenth century, but it primarily concerns itself with the contemporary period and more specifically with the diasporic enclave in New York City. It uses a critical transnational perspective to convey the adaptation of the immigrants in American society and the border-crossing practices they engage in as they maintain their relations with the homeland. It further reproblematizes and reconceptualizes the notion of diasporic citizenship so as to take stock of the newer facets of the globalization process.

The author conducted extensive interviews with both first- and second- generation immigrants in New York City, revealing that second-generation Haitian immigrants do not have one single identity. Rather, they exhibit multiple identities that are shaped by both the American realities and the home and familial context. The author describes in detail the various macro and micro factors that account for this great variation in ethnic identification, and discusses the implications of these identity choices for American society at large. Unlike their parents, who do not consider themselves American but rather birds of passage and who, additionally, because of their distinctive foreign accents, are not perceived to be American, the children of Haitian immigrants have the option of being less ethnic. In fact, they are very often seen by others as merely American. In light of this distinction, the central questions posed in the present study are the following: Are Haitian families successful at passing on to their offspring the same ethnic feelings, identification, culture, and values? How do their children choose to define themselves? Do they consider themselves American, or more specifically, African American? Is being ethnic important to their self image? In what way does the home environment influence their ethnic choices? What role do the American realities that surround them play in shaping Haitian youth identity? What are the manifestations and implication of these identifies?

This book describes the struggle of Haitians in the United States, the strain between pride in their Haitian roots and prejudice against Haitians, and its causes and consequences for approximately 500,000 Haitians in the U.S. The book examines the problems of prejudice, economics and immigration Haitians confront, along with their pride and resources of family, community and culture. Haitians reflect continuing difficulties in America concerning race, ethnicity and nationality. Part of the New Immigrants Series, edited by Nancy Foner. Focusing on the massive wave of immigration currently sweeping across America, this ground breaking series includes coverage of five new immigrant groups for 1998, the Hmong in Wisconsin, Brazilians and Koreans in New York City, Haitians in Miami, and Chinese in San Francisco. This series fills the gap in knowledge relating to today's immigrants, how these groups are attempting to redefine their cultures while here, and their contribution to a new and changing America.

HAITI IN CENTRAL PARK is a refreshing re-introduction to Haiti. Cut from two different cloths and natives of one city, Brian Fass and Gregory Jesus Luc have collaborated to expose and document one of the many different ethnic groups, which make up New York City. HICP highlights a mixture of: art, fashion, history, music, pride, socio-politics, spirituality; and how these customs have transcended into NYC and throughout North America. Central Park, one of New York City's top must-see attractions, has been the host to this unique form of festival music since early 1990's. An essential space that welcomes over 50 million visitors annually, every Sunday afternoon during the summer months (still to this day) you can catch this celebratory experience/ community gathering between 'The Mall' (a walkway/gathering area; CP boasts one of the largest plantation of American elm) and the 'Bandshell' (a cultural iconic stage near very center of Central Park; Martin Luther King Jr. spoke; John Lennon's eulogy hosted) playing well into the late evening. Their presence has contributed to the rebuilding and the restoring of the intention of Central Park. A culture so very often misunderstood, paralyzed by negative press, shady politics and xenophobia, HICP gives you a candid introduction of Haiti through the caption of the Haitian Diaspora and friends in New York City. Shot between the years 2010-15, Brian's abstract, fluid-motion photography matched with Jesus' contextual data appropriates the propaganda, establishes a historical record, and gives insight; thus filing a time-piece in New York City history. This book, not only serves as a showcase, but it is an educational and historical contribution. We pay homage to a group, whom we recognize has contributed so much to the legacy of America.
