"This book makes a significant contribution to Haitian studies, film studies, and Africana studies. Not only does it cover a topic that has not been addressed elsewhere—Haitian popular film—but it does so in an interdisciplinary way that accounts for the intersections of race, class, gender, and sexuality." — Régine Jean-Charles, author of Looking for Other Worlds: Black Feminism and Haitian Fiction
