    Early Life and Immigration Journey

    Edwidge Danticat was born in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, where she spent her early childhood.

    When she was 12 years old, her father, André, left for New York City, followed two years later by her mother, Rose. During this period, Danticat and her brother were raised by their aunt and uncle in Haiti. This separation, followed by their reunion in the U.S., greatly shaped Danticat's understanding of home and displacement, recurring themes in her work.
