"Because When God is Too Busy:
Haiti, Me, & the World"

"Because When God is Too Busy: Haiti, Me, & the World" is an alter(ed)
native ethno-performance of spokenword that explores issues of racism,
classism and sexism through anti-Haitianism.  It exposes what it means to
confront and speak truth to power and, in a black feminist tradition,
achieve peace through spirituality and revolutionary self-definition. This
work ultimately demands of the audience that we all interrogate our
complicity in the brutality of anti-Haitianism.  -Gina Athena Ulysse
"Because When God is Too Busy: Haiti, Me, & the World," a spoken-word
performance with Gina Athena Ulysse, Assistant Professor of Anthropology and
African-American Studies at Wesleyan University, takes place at 7PM, April
26 in Memorial Chapel. All are invited, reception will follow.
Sponsored by the Office of Affirmative Action and the Center for Faculty
Career Development . For more information, please contact Dianna Dozier,
