1939: (Sports to Improve the Beauty and Vigor of the Race — Comhaire-Sylvain Explaining “We Should Definitely Consider Placing Our Young Girls in All Sorts of Sports Organizations to Improve the Beauty and Vigor of the Race,” Fitness as a Response to Girls’ Leisure Time Being an Explicit Concern for What Young Women Were Doing with Their Bodies and How That Behavior Represented Women Within a Familial Community and National Context): Comhaire-Sylvain explained that they should definitely consider placing their young girls in all sorts of sports organizations to improve the beauty and vigor of the race. Fitness as a response to girls’ leisure time was an explicit concern for what young women were doing with their bodies and how that behavior represented women within a familial, community, and national context — the language of racial vigor placed the girls’ bodies in the service of a nationalist project, their physical health measured not for its own sake but for what it contributed to the image of the Haitian race.
