Paper Summary:

The paper discusses " The Farming of Bones" and examines how Edwidge Danticat produces a powerful and lyrical work that explores the suffering and mass murder of Haitians unfortunate enough to live and work in the Dominican Republic during the heyday of Dictator Rafael Trujillo in the late 1930s. Among the many powerful evocations in the work is Danticat's haunting use of the concept of remembrance. In her case she uses the idea of memory and loss to evoke an aching reminder of all those whose lives were taken, but who have now been lost to the mists of time.
