Dans Ayiti, Roxane Gay rompt avec les stéréotypes et les idées fausses sur les Haïtiens et les Américains d’origine haïtienne.

Ayiti rassemble quinze récits de Roxane Gay explorant les expériences de la diaspora haïtienne en Amérique du Nord. Gay n’hésite pas à critiquer ni à montrer comment les malheurs d’Haïti attirent les médias. C’est une langue crue, pleine d’audace et de saveurs, qui raconte Haïti.

Un couple marié veut quitter le pays en bateau pour l’Amérique. Une jeune femme se procure un philtre d’amour vaudou pour piéger un camarade de classe. Une mère emmène un soldat étranger chez elle comme pensionnaire (de son lit !). Et une femme, qui déménage plus tard en Amérique pour une nouvelle vie, conçoit une fille au bord d’une rivière en fuyant un massacre terrifiant…
