1959: (Women as Interlocutors Between Zones — Ultimately Women Making Up the Majority of the Port-au-Prince Population and Through Their Movements About the City Being the Interlocutors Between Zones — Comhaire-Sylvain Not Explicitly Naming the Arteries of Connection but Referencing Them in the Folds of Each Description: in Class IV “The Rest Inhabit Other Quarters in Some Menial Capacity Often as Servants,” in Class II “Households Are Larger Averaging 4 Adults and 5 Children but the Fifth Child Is Usually a Servant”): Ultimately, women made up the majority of the Port-au-Prince population, and through their movements about the city, they were the interlocutors between zones. Comhaire-Sylvain did not explicitly name the arteries of connection between and among classes, but these intersections were referenced in the folds of each description. In Class IV she wrote that the rest inhabit other quarters in some menial capacity, often as servants. In Class II she noted that households are larger, averaging 4 adults and 5 children, but the fifth child is usually a servant — the servant was the hidden bridge between the zones, the Class IV woman who lived in the Class II household, the body that carried one world’s labor into another world’s comfort.
