T HIS BOOK is the convergence of transnational flows, breaking waves, and thought gyres; of currents regular, unplanned, horizontal, downwelling, and upwelling; of surfs carrying debris, plankton, or memory; of surface tides and unfathomable undercurrents that shall remain unseen. It is the encounter of the minds and acts of colleagues, students, friends, and family members. Those whom my memory fails to recall at this moment are nonetheless crucial. douard Glissant would have called those who remain unnamed neutral relays: agents who act below the radar of the spectacular, who act in the continuous. I would like to thank my fellow soukougnans in work and spirit: Dominique Aurlia, Jacqueline Couti, Anny-Dominique Curtius, Gladys Francis, Ananya Jahanara Kabir, Fabienne Kanor, LnaBlou, and Myriam Mose. Yes, they can fly.

We critics would be naught but empty shells without artists, poets, fiction writers, and curators. They give meaning to our work. Giscard Bouchotte, Edwidge Danticat, Patricia Donatien, douard Duval Carri, Jean-Joseph Cleur, Patrick Chamoiseau, Eugne Ebod, Gwladys Gambie, Epaul Julien, Ricardo Ozier-Lafontaine, Atadja Lewa, Pascale Monnin, M.

Martinican artist Victor Anicet holds an esteemed place in my heart. douard Glissants teachings in the 1990s continue to live with me. The galleries and artistic spaces that welcomed me made this book more complete: in Haiti, the Atis Rezistans of the Grand Rue in Port-au-Prince, the metal artists of Croix-des-Bouquets, and the Galerie Monnin; in Martinique, the Fondation Clment, the Habitation Saint-Etienne and the Anse Caffard Memorial; in Guadeloupe, the Mmorial ACTe; in the United States, the High Museum of Art in Atlanta; the NSU Art Museum in Fort Lauderdale; the Wolfsonian-FIU and the Little Haiti Cultural Center in Miami; the Civil Rights Memorial in Montgomery, Alabama; and the Whitney Plantation on River Road, Louisiana. I am grateful to the Jack Shainman Gallery, the Sikkema Jenkins & Co. Gallery with the Collection of Marc and Lisa Mills; the Artists Rights Society (ARS); the NSU Art Museum; the High Museum; and Wesleyan University Press, who provided reproduction rights. With special thanks to archivists and collection managers Gabriela Gil, Laurie Kind, Monica Truong for their patience.
The undergraduate and doctoral students I taught while the book was in progress brought me invaluable feedback. Their backgrounds in literature, religion, philosophy, African American studies, women, gender, and sexuality studies, and environmental studies, among other fields, made this book interdisciplinarily rich. I particularly thank the members of the graduate seminars Water Graves I and Water Graves II, as well as Amanda Anderson, Franck Andrianarivo Rakotobe, Dr. Bronwyn Averett, Jane Battison, Brenton Boyd, Hugo Bujon, Natalie Catass, Ben Davis, Rubn Daz Vsquez, Marcelitte Failla, Joseph Fritsch, Hannah Griggs, Lauren Highsmith, Tiara J., Haylee Harrell, Taryn Jordan, Yazan Kamalulddin, Dr. Souad Kherbi, Hannah Hjerpe-Shroeder, Dr. Ania Kowalik, Dr. Stephanie Iasiello, Stephanie Larson, RaNiqua Lee, Mike Lehman, Judith Levy, Francisco Lopez, Dr. Guirdex Mass, Alexis Mayfield, Christopher Moller, Brendan Moore, Dr. Nicole Morris, Manuela Ossa, Suzanne Persard, Gloria Pham, Dr. Nicolas Rmy, Alicia Rodriguez, Carlie Rodriguez, Dr. Dominick Rolle, Dr. Erika Serrato, Dr. Angelica So, Dr. Eric Solomon, Dr. Marlo Starr, Dr. Marion Tricoire, Ninon Vessier, and Dr. Blair Watson.
