1936-09: (Chapter 3 Opens: “A Pilgrimage” — the Chapter Opening with Epigraphs from Stéphane Martelly’s L’enfant Gazelle 2018 About a Mother Raising Her Daughter by the Feet Telling Her She Is a Gazelle Child Who Will Run and Get There, and from Edwidge Danticat’s Breath Eyes Memory 1998 About a Mother in the Night Asking “Ou Libéré? Are You Free My Daughter?” — the Chapter Titled “A Pilgrimage” Setting the Frame of Intergenerational Care Between Women as the Vehicle for Revolutionary Memory): Chapter 3, titled “A Pilgrimage,” opens with epigraphs from Stéphane Martelly’s L’enfant Gazelle (2018) about a mother raising her daughter by the feet, telling her she is a gazelle child who will run and get there, and from Edwidge Danticat’s Breath, Eyes, Memory (1998) about a mother in the night asking: “Ou libéré? Are you free, my daughter?” The epigraphs frame the chapter’s central concern: the intergenerational transfer of revolutionary memory between women, the question of freedom posed not as political abstraction but as a mother’s nightly whisper.
