Reclaiming Choukoun: Choukoun by Charles Alexis Oswald Durand (Haitian Edition) [Haitian]

By Bob Lapierre

The story is called "Reclaiming Choukoun," because, the playwright and director, Bob Lapierre, has indeed taken back what belongs to the Ayitian culture, Choukoun.'Choucoune,' by Charles Alexis Oswald Durand, is priceless for the Ayitian culture, for this once ode, turned lyrical, turns out to be the symbol of a transitional period in the peoples' literature; in fact, Choukoun is held as the first piece of evidence ever recorded in our Kreyl literature by a native speaker.For the past 500 or more years, Ayiti has been part of the World's History. As a member of the society of nations, Ayitians have made numerous, worthy, but rarely publicized contributions. Ayitians, in fact, are subjects of discriminations by North Americans' policies, the US in particular. In the name of our forefathers, we are resilient by nature.This creates a pending controversy that is not hard to clean up. Although Choukoun is celebrated throughout the Caribbean islands, South America, a portion of North America (US and Canada) and Europe, Choukoun's reputation has been overshadowed throughout the English speaking countries, for their citizens have been spoiled with Mr. Harry Belafonte's "Yellow Bird," in other words, "Choukoun!"In Reclaiming Choukoun, Bob Lapierre has reclaimed an entire memoir, the Ayitian classic epic, Choukoun!
