1943-1944: (Jeanne’s Small Acts of Disruption — at the Same Time Jeanne Attempting to Disrupt the SHADA Narrative, in Her Refusal to Share the Newspaper with Her Siblings on the Grounds of Its Unreliability and Through Her Attempts to Intervene in the Information Stream with Her Own Humor Jeanne Communicating Her Unease with Her Participation — SHADA Being One of Several Examples in the 1940s Where Pan-American Visions Were Soured by Incongruent Implementation, Though as Chantalle Verna Reminds Us Haitians Consistently Used the Apparatus of Pan-Americanism to Achieve Their Own Varying Ends): At the same time, Jeanne attempted to disrupt the SHADA narrative. In her refusal to share the newspaper with the theorists she held in the highest regard — her siblings — on the grounds of the periodical’s unreliability, and through her attempts to intervene in the information stream with her own humor, Jeanne communicated her unease with her participation in the project. SHADA was one of several examples in the 1940s where the Pan-American visions of Haitians were soured by incongruent implementation with regional partners. At the same time, as Chantalle Verna reminds us, Haitians consistently used the apparatus of Pan-Americanism to achieve their own, varying, ends — Jeanne’s complicity was not passive but contested from within, her withholding of the newspaper from her sisters a quiet act of archival sabotage.
