The Emperor Jones Lesson Plan

Relationship to Other Books

Emperor Jones pairs well with other books that explore American Imperialism in Haiti. These works include Taking Haiti, by Mary A. Renda, Duvalier's Ghosts, by Jana Evans, and Paradise Lost (2005), by Philippe de Girard.

Consider the work of twentieth-century and contemporary Haitian, Haitian-American, and Haitian-Canadian authors like Edwidge Danticat, Dany Laferriere, and Jan J. Dominique.

Look also to the work of Haitian playwrights like Marie Vieux Chauvet and Frankétienne.
