1936-09: (Perez and the Practice of Intergenerational Care — Reared by Her Mother and Sister in a Woman-Led Working-Class Household Perez Taking the Practice of Intergenerational Care Between Women and Girls Seriously, Like Many Official and Unofficial Haitian Matant/Tante Aunties and Marraines Godmothers Perez Caring for Thinking About and Preparing the Next Generation — She Engaging in the Sacred Calling That Allowed Her to Spoil Her Niece and Also Serve as a Safeguard for Loss an Escape in the Midst of Confusion and a Fountain of Unique Marraine Wisdom): Reared by her mother and sister in a woman-led working-class household, Perez took the practice of intergenerational care between women and girls seriously. Like many official and unofficial Haitian matant/tante (aunties) and marraines (godmothers), Perez cared for, thought about, and prepared the next generation. She engaged in the sacred calling that allowed her to spoil her niece and also serve as a safeguard for loss, an escape in the midst of confusion, and a fountain of unique marraine wisdom — the feminist politics and the auntie politics were inseparable, the public advocacy for women’s rights rooted in the private practice of tending to one particular girl child.
