Abstract

|
|
|
| In one of his latest novels to date, Avant que les ombres s'effacent, Louis-Philippe Dalembert, a Haitian born author living in Paris, embraces the migration of Jews fleeing Nazism to the Caribbean. The novel plays on the riff generated by Holocaust survivors and Afro-Caribbeans having faced the same dreadful year. Generally overlooked in the Caribbean, the generational lap between relatives who have become Caribbean is at the core of Avant que les ombres s'effacent. The novel revisits the forgotten episode of the 'S.S. St. Louis' who brought 900 Jews to Cuba in 1939, but who were refused to disembark. Haiti, by contrast, warmly welcomed numbers of persecuted. Avant que les ombres s'effacent relates the field of postcolonial studies with Jewish and memory studies. |
