dc.description.abstract	The article proposes a reflection on how the intertwined themes of power, subjectivity and agency are articulated in Lyonel Trouillot’s 2016 novel Kannjawou. In its narrative space, the hermeneutics of collective reality is produced by an individual memory engaged in questioning the relations of power that affect subjectivity and action of both the occupied Haitians and the foreigners occupiers. A close reading of the novel seeks to unpack its ethnographic thickness, its capacity to built layers of understanding around the stakes of a disadvantaged microcosm in contemporary Port-au-Prince.

A close reading of the novel seeks to unpack its ethnographic thickness, its capacity to built layers of understanding around the stakes of a disadvantaged microcosm in contemporary Port-au-Prince.
