In her illustrated book Ayiti. Chants de liberté! (2022), Haitian Canadian artist, storyteller and author Joujou Turenne tells the history of her birth country, Haiti, from a feminist and diasporic perspective. To construct a feminine Haitian collective memory, she interweaves elements of her biography with Haitian history and the art of Haitian oral storytelling, integrating traditional songs and tales that belong to the Haitian oral literature. My contribution proposes reading the text from the perspective of the recuperation and rewriting of Haitian memory from and for the Quebec diaspora. One of the key axes of analysis will be the dynamic tensions between «parole de nuit» and «parole de jour», between literary genres of different cultural origins, and between semiotic modes of narration.
