The
IDB Cultural Center
Inter-American
Lecture Series
presents
Patti M. Marxsen’s
short stories
Tales
from
the
Heart of Haiti
Educa
Books, 2010
Books
will be made available for sale and signing at the event by Portico
Bookstore
Patti
Marxsen will read from her collection of short stories, Tales from
the Heart of Haiti, published earlier this year by Educa Vision, the
premier Haitian-American publishing firm in the U.S.
Marxsen,
who came to know Haiti in the 1990s through her association with
Haiti’s Hospital Albert Schweitzer, speaks of the impetus for her
stories as “my fascination with Haiti as a nation, a culture, and a
land of contrasts dependent on foreign aid. I began with the
unfulfilled promise of Haitian Independence from France, in 1804, of
Haiti as the first black republic prepared to control its own destiny in
the wake of a stunningly successful slave revolution.”
In
her stories, Marxsen presents a complex perspective of the Haitian
people by writing of their interactions with those who come from
somewhere else and try to help. As we have seen in the months
since the Earthquake of January 12, 2010, Haiti overflows with
expatriates and missionaries. But how much do foreign
“helpers” see and know? “Only when we allow ourselves to
enter into that mysterious world of Haitian feeling, Haitian
spirituality, Haitian loss, and Haitian violence do we begin to
understand the boundaries and the connections,” Marxsen says. “I have written these stories with the hope of understanding that
particular ‘otherness’ that is sadly, beautifully, wildly, and
proudly Haitian.”
In
addition to her reading, Marxsen will address the current situation in
Haiti by delineating the most urgent needs and by sharing her views on
how international organizations can best help to meet those needs by
deepening their understanding of Haitian history and culture. In
particular, she will raise questions about how NGOs and the Interim
Commission for the Recovery of Haiti, co-chaired by former President
Bill Clinton and Haitian Prime Minister Jean-Max Bellerive, have helped
or hindered progress. “I always go back to an invaluable piece
of advice from the co-founder of Hospital Albert Schweitzer, Gwen
Mellon. ‘Never forget, you are a guest in this country.’” With
this advice in mind, Marxsen adds, “Guests behave differently than
saviors.”
Patti
Marxsen is a former French teacher and has served as a communications
manager in several non-profit organizations in New England, including a
Boston-base peace and justice institute. Her Haiti-related writings have
been published in the Caribbean
Writer, The
French Review, the Journal of Haitian Studies, New Century
Voices, and the Women’s Review of Books. In addition to Tales
from the Heart of Haiti, she is the author of Island Journeys:
Exploring the Legacy of France (2008), which includes an essay on
Haiti. She is also a board member of the Haitian Studies Association and
has played an active role in organizing the annual conference at Brown
University, November 11-14, with the theme of “Haiti, History, and
Healing: Facing the Challenges of Reconstruction.” Marxsen lives
in Switzerland with her husband, a retired surgeon. www.pattimarxsen.net
