Alaso is a Haitian Feminist anthology publication. It is a space for feminist expression and dialogue to encourage the production of critical thought, debate and analysis that make feminist thought accessible in different formats and modes of dissemination. For the #1 we chose the heart of our resistance. Resistance to marginalization, despair, violence, and erasure. This resistance is reflected in our collective struggles and our commitment to stand up and fight for more freedom, justice, and joy. Alaso is a trilingual project, available in 2 Haitian creole/French and Haitian Creole/English Contributions by Rebecca Bruny, Katia Henrys, Shanna Jean-Baptiste, Isabelle Jolicoeur, Joeanne Joseph, Rose-Myrlie Joseph, Souzen Joseph, Laura Louis et Stéphane Martelly Illustrations by Corine Bond Edition-translation by Nadine Mondestin Djanaïna Francois Publication director Fania Noël

Hundreds of thousands of Haitians, most of them young people, are leaving in search of opportunities and a respite from instability. They leave behind holes in families, towns and schools, as well as in state institutions, businesses and the cultural and political organizations of Haitian civil society. But those who remain, willingly or unwillingly, also leave holes, as they no longer enjoy freedom of movement, and where every outing requires sophisticated planning in the provinces due to fuel shortages or occurs at the risk of being kidnapped in the capital. Poko bout / Unfinished is the theme chosen for this 4th issue, echoing the general feeling of being incomplete, of halting mid-flight, which is felt not only at the individual level but also collectively. The work is not finished because so much has stopped mid-course, whether it is Haiti's ambition for equality, political mobilization against corruption, advances in feminist struggles, a school year that has to be completed in a third country, lives taken and lives not given the chance to begin.
