The Life of Franketienne
ADVERTISEMENT
Franketienne is a protagonist - larger-than-life type of protagonist and even during the days when Haiti succumbed to the dictatorships of Papa Doc and Baby Doc, he was never forced by his fear to step down of the National Stage. Franketienne compares a dictator to sado-masochistic relationship where a master is served by his slaves and the very existence of a master depends on the existence of slaves. However, Franketienne never related the historic Haitian slavery with sado-masochistic relationship because even though the master-slave relationship held true in those days, the only problem was that the slaves were considered to be expendable because of excess supply.
Franketienne was declared, by the cultural agency of The United Nation, as Artist for Peace because of the contributions he made to French-language literature and also because of Franketienne's commitment to preserve the culture of Haiti. One of the greatest artists and intellects of Haiti, Franketienne is considered to be a global citizen and belongs to the artistic, cultural and creative vanguard through the length and breadth of Caribbean.
