This book aims to probe the typologies and causative agents of drought in Jacques Roumain's two novels. We have identified and described six types of drought: physical, social, intellectual, institutional, economic and moral/psychological, drawing on Aire's work as a conceptual frame of reference and on thematic, sociological, psychoanalytical, Marxist and semiotic approaches, given the thematic varieties dealt with in the works and the author's ideology and the beliefs of the characters in the works under study. We see that deforestation, the abandonment of cultivated land and man's wickedness towards the earth are all causes of the drought that invades the village of Fonds-Rouge, as shown by the author. Our observations are that Jacques Roumain criticizes his compatriots for destroying the land and abandoning it for better grazing. It is highly recommended for researchers and students alike.
