Each country developed a completely different social, political, linguistic, and cultural system than that of its neighbor. I am focusing on particular historic political episodes from Haiti Revolution (1781-1804), the emancipation of Dominican Republic (1844), and slave era Louisiana, and why these events influenced two diaspora artists; Firelie Baez and Edouard Duval-Carrie and how they are using their art to create a means for reestablishing mutual respect among their respective compatriots. This thesis will follow the path of dislocation that resulted from the booming slave trade on the Island of Hispaniola to the creolization of the new colony of Louisiana. The thesis will analyze the visual resistance of Afro-Caribbean women in 1800s Louisiana and how this resistance can inspire people of today. Artists and cultures have been embedded within globalization and creolization for centuries, even though non-Western artists such as Baez and Duval-Carrie and their cultures have remained in the periphery of the Western mindset. Having been born in the Dominican Republic and Haiti respectively, these two artists each emigrated to the United States. As diaspora artists, both engage their countries problems and triumphs through their artwork. Thanks to the physical and emotional distance from their countries of origin, they have a broader perspective of their island past and present. These descendants of Hispaniola are working to create a dialogue through their artwork on their respective countries and through discussions with other migrants about how to mend the bonds between Haiti and the Dominican Republic. Through their art they are proclaiming,Here we are, weve been here for awhile, we cannot be so easily quieted or hidden; Look at us! Hear us ! They are a force that is demanding the Western world to expand its mindset by acknowledging and reconsidering its propensity to overlook the particular circumstances and problems of marginalized cultures. 2018-07-23 English text Bowling Green State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=bgsu1526269413936894 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=bgsu1526269413936894 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
