A poet, journalist, and language activist, Batista (1955- ) embodies and expresses Cuba's cultural and linguistic diversity as a descendant of Haitian migrant workers to Eastern Cuba during the mid-twentieth century; his poems bridge regions usually separated by language--the Spanish and Creolophone/Francophone Caribbean--and vividly depict the distinct heritage of Haitian Cubans and their shared dreams and challenges. A scholarly introduction by translator and editor Mariana F. Past provides biographical information about the author, situates his work within Haitian diasporic literature, and addresses patterns of Haitian migration to Cuba. Batista's original poems appear alongside facing-page English translations with annotations that clarify historical figures and events, geographical features, and Haitian cultural and religious practices. Grounded in oral storytelling traditions, Unbroken Nostalgia brings to light the collective memory and complicated hybridity of the Haitian community in Cuba and upholds Haitian Kreyòl as a language of resistance.This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0Poems in Haitian French Creole with English translation.Description based on information from the publisher.Haitian poetry (French Creole)Translations into English.Cuban poetryTranslations into English.Electronic books.Past, Mariana,1971-translator.https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PCjyHMqPbpTtqkx7ygQgvXmMichigan Publishing (University of Michigan),publisher.Supplement (work):Batista Félix, Hilario,1955-Unbroken nostalgia.1 online resource (audio files, 1 video file, 1 pdf)https://doi.org/10.3998/mpub.131159760No-worldcatRecordExternalImportMPubCataloging
