You\u2019re reading Critic\u2019s Notebook<\/strong>, our weekend column looking at the most interesting moments in the cultural Zeitgeist.<\/em><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

This is an intercession season for sports fans. These summer games are not just games; they\u2019re tests of the spirit for some recognizably soul-weary tribes, and fans work to intervene on the outcome using whatever resources are at their disposal. After the Knicks\u2019 destabilizing loss to the Spurs in Game Three of the N.B.A. Finals, New Yorkers burned bundles of sage outside Madison Square Garden\u2014an attempt to clear out the bad energy that some believed had been carried in by President Donald Trump, who arrived in the city like smog.<\/p>\n

The story of the Knicks\u2019 long, long embattlement has a kind of mirror, I\u2019ve been feeling, in the arc of the Haitian men\u2019s soccer team, also known as Les Grenadiers,<\/em> and their return to the World Cup stage. Not since 1974 had Les Grenadiers<\/em> qualified for the Cup; not since 2021, after the assassination of President Jovenel Mo\u00efse extinguished the already tenuous government order, has the team played on Haitian soil. They have been relegated to meeting on fields in Cura\u00e7ao, while their coach\u2014a white Frenchman named S\u00e9bastian Mign\u00e9, appointed by the Haitian Football Federation in 2024\u2014does his managing over the phone. For seven days and seven nights, Pitit Manman Mari, a Catholic church based in Port-au-Prince that has flourished as a sort of digital-assembly area for the diaspora, devoted its YouTube and radio broadcasts to the project of fortifying the team against its many obstacles, in preparation for the Cup. In one video service, the Reverend Frantzy Petit-Homme was backgrounded by a pixelated image of the players as he entreated his Lord to fortify Les Grenadiers<\/em> with sheer power: \u201cGive them the capacity to read the game before it develops.\u201d<\/p>\n

The prophet, the figure who laps his contemporaries in his acquiring of knowledge\u2014there is little romance in his situation. A spokesman for the divine, his relationship to humility is complex. It\u2019s a narrative that doesn\u2019t have much appeal in the West, which would find the soothing underdog story more applicable to the Haitian situation, and, indeed, that\u2019s the story which has taken hold. Ever since Louicius Deedson, then an attacker for the national team, sliced through Nicaragua\u2019s defense to score the winning goal in the World Cup qualifiers, back in November, there has been a rallying around not only the team but the notion of Haitianness itself, a kind of unofficial campaign to \u201cpitch\u201d the country as nothing like the aspersions cast upon it by the slanderous West. You think Haiti is necklacing, cholera, and coups d\u2019\u00e9tat? Here is a lesson on konpa,<\/em> a tour through Haitian cuisine, a primer on the painter Hector Hyppolite. Culture is hinging itself like a horsefly on the cart of the games; the musician and producer Micha\u00ebl Brun is staging Bayo, his fabulous Haitian concert series, in Boston, on the eve of Haiti\u2019s first game against Scotland, at the New England Patriots\u2019 stadium, in Foxborough, Massachusetts. The NPR South Florida reporter Wilkline Brutus, who is as much a journalist as he is a diaspora mediator, untangling the love and the recriminations between Haitians in Haiti and Haitians in the States, reports that \u201cAcross industries, Haitians say they are experiencing an undeniable renaissance, gaining the kind of humanization and mainstream visibility that wasn\u2019t always afforded to them.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Is there a word more volatile than \u201chumanization\u201d? In the Haitian context, humanity was not granted to the people by the other; it was seized. I wouldn\u2019t say that Haitians are a supplicant people; we have not enjoyed bending and folding to court the exploitative beneficence of the States. But I am using \u201cwe\u201d too freely, given the political, linguistic, and geographic sprawl of the diaspora.<\/p>\n

Jaspora<\/em> has gone through its evolutions. As Edwidge Danticat wrote, earlier this year, in The New Yorker<\/em>, \u201cThe first documented arrival of Haitian refugees in South Florida dates to 1972, when a wooden sailboat, the Saint Sauveur, ran aground off of Pompano Beach, carrying sixty\u2011five asylum seekers fleeing the ruthless dictatorship of Jean-Claude Duvalier.\u201d In the nineties, the Haitian American, the child of this refugee generation, negotiated her status\u2014proud at home, pariah outside\u2014in cities like Montreal, Brooklyn, Miami, and Boston. The jaspora<\/em> kid could seem pitiful, especially from the vantage of those back in Haiti, a kind of cultural mutt. As for this generation? Anti-Haitianness has never been more politically entrenched, with Trump\u2019s virulent expulsion campaign against the population; and yet Haitianness has also never seemed more alluring. Little Haitis abound. Influencers ride Sunrise Airways to Cap-Ha\u00eftien, showing off the \u201creal\u201d Haiti that the media doesn\u2019t want you to see. There is this correction of Haitian image for the foreigner and then for diasporic Haitians themselves.<\/p>\n

The more inaccessible Haiti becomes, the more vividly it\u2019s imagined, depicted, and reclaimed. Toussaint Louverture Airport, the international gateway in Port-au-Prince, remains suspended to commercial flights. The homesick anthem has become a staple for Haitian artists. The band Zenglen made the phrase \u201cOuv\u00e8 Peyi a,\u201d Krey\u00f2l for \u201copen up the country,\u201d into a song of mother-country longing; Ayiiti, a young Haitian singer, collaborated with Boukman Eksperyans, a legendary Haitian band; and their founder\u2019s son, Paul Beaubrun, retooled their populist carnival song released in 1990, \u201cKe\u2019m Pa Sote\u201d\u2014translating, idiomatically, to \u201c I Am Not Afraid\u201d\u2014into a new piece of protest music, \u201cAyiti Nan Batay,\u201d meaning \u201cHaiti Is Embattled.\u201d<\/p>\n

What is fascinating about the current roster of Les Grenadiers<\/em> is that it doubles as a microcosm of the demographic, a schistic one, its identity forged through the realities of diaspora diffusion. It is only Woodensky Pierre who plays for a Haitian club; Markhus (Duke) Lacroix and Derrick Etienne, Jr., are American-born; the majority is Franco-Haitian. Many of our players who were born in Haiti\u2014there are ten\u2014have left in childhood and in adolescence, pursuing opportunities with European clubs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Watching Game Four of the N.B.A. Finals the other day, my father\u2014who is from Ti Rivi\u00e8re, like the Haitian footballer Hannes Delcroix, and who left Haiti for New York in the eighties\u2014felt a little disdain. \u201cBasketball is not as difficult as f\u00fatbol<\/em>,\u201d he said. \u201cThe hand has too much dexterity.\u201d F\u00fatbol<\/em> in Haiti is revered because it demands that the recumbent man resist his evolutionary nature. He must master his feet, and, in doing so, transcend his limitations. In \u201cDeath of the Soccer God,\u201d a novel published in May, Dimitry Elias L\u00e9ger grafts this elevated, mythic register onto his tragic hero, Gil Chevalier, who at times serves as a fictionalization of the Haitian player Joe Gaetjens. At the 1950 World Cup, in Brazil, Gaetjens, who played for the United States, scored the winning goal against England.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

In Haiti, f\u00fatbol<\/em> can provide an alternative plane of experience, one in which the victory of independence can be relived again and again. Pel\u00e9, who visited Haiti in 1975 during the height of the Duvalier regime, is revered almost as if a saint, and Brazil is the country that Haitians root for in their own nation\u2019s stead. Now Haiti will play Brazil on l<\/em>\u2019\u00e9tage mondiale<\/em>, bringing to a close some fifty years of fan surrogacy. Much is often made of soccer diplomacy, but this year\u2019s World Cup promises more than hand-shaking and symbolic gestures. The background of the pitch is repression, autocracy, and corruption. For Haiti, the beautiful game will be about the confrontation of a certain psychological displacement.<\/p>\n

Modern Haitianness presents itself, almost masks itself, through its history: proud, world-defining, the real embodiment, we all know, of the Enlightenment ideal of the equality of man, a history we are constantly made to invoke, a history we are proud to invoke. Shortly after the November qualifying match, an awed anchor on \u201cMorning Footy\u201d asked Delcroix\u2014the defender who moved, as a child, from Haiti to Belgium, where his play was developed through the country\u2019s youth-league system\u2014about the spiritual significance of dates. It had been two hundred and twenty-two years, on that exact day, November 18th, since Jean-Jacques Dessalines and his army defeated Napoleon at the Battle of Verti\u00e8res. The date does ring in any Haitian\u2019s mind. We tout our dates. Delcroix spoke in that tenor, saying that he\u2019d felt a torrent of hope from his people, who, in no metaphorical sense, live everywhere.<\/p>\n

Days after the World Cup friendlies had passed, earlier this month, yielding one win and a surfeit of thrill, FIFA<\/em> rejected the Haitian jersey, citing its depiction of the Battle of Verti\u00e8res as a violation to its regulation on political speech. The censure echoed an incident at the Winter Olympics, when the designer Stella Jean, who is Haitian Italian, broke a similar rule, and was made to redo her look for the country\u2019s athletes, which depicted Toussaint Louverture astride his horse. Jean decided to erase Louverture, leaving the horse galloping unmanned, eerily, a more imposing image. How the Haitian team will erase Verti\u00e8res, I\u2019m curious to see. The Reverend Frantzy Pitit-Homme, on his stream, urged his flock not to fall prey to Western censure. \u201cIf you visit the museums in France,\u201d he said, speaking of Haitian independence, \u201cyou won\u2019t see this at all.\u201d Is Haiti embraced in its underdog hour because the country cannot be seen as a threat to Western hegemony? The Reverend asks you to keep vigilant.\u00a0\u2666<\/p>\n
