The daughter of Haitian journalist and pro-democracy activist Jean Leopold Dominique, who was assassinated in 2000, Jan J. Dominique offers a memoir that provides a uniquely personal perspective on the tumultuous end of the twentieth century in Haiti. Wandering Memory is her elegy for a father and an ode to a beloved, suffering homeland. The book charts the biographical, emotional, and literary journey of a woman moving from one place to another, attempting to return to her craft and put together the pieces of her life in the aftermath of family tragedy. Dominique writes eloquently about love, loss, and traumas both horrifically specific and tragically universal. For readers familiar with Jean Dominique and his life' s work at Radio Hai ti, the book offers an intimate perspective on a tale of mythic proportions. For the reading public at large, it offers an approachable and resonant introduction to contemporary Haitian literature, history, and identity.
As an elegy written to her illustrious father, Wandering Memory broadens the availability of Jan J. Dominique' s work and adds to the archive of materials in English about the inimitable Jean Dominique. --Regine Michelle Jean-Charles, Boston College, author of Conflict Bodies: The Politics of Rape Representation in the Francophone Imaginary
Now based in Montreal, Jan J. Dominique had a long career as a journalist and producer at Radio Hai ti. She is the author of several volumes of acclaimed autobiographical fiction, including Memoir of an Amnesiac. Emma Donovan Page is a freelance translator living in the UK.
