Now in its 14th year, the Little Haiti Book Festival on Sunday, May 3, has grown from a small gathering of about a dozen authors into an established cultural event in South Florida.
Miami’s Little Haiti is known for the vibrancy of its pastel murals and the rhythmic sounds of music filling the air. On Sunday, May 4, during Haitian Heritage Month, a quieter expression of Haitian identity will take center stage: the written word. This year, the 11th edition of the Little Haiti Book Festival at the Little Haiti Cultural Complex will offer more than books; tightly woven into event programming are themes of community displacement and immigration instability.
