Answer 1

Yves' exact occupation in Haiti is not specified in Edwidge Danticat's novel The Farming of Bones.

Step-by-step explanation:

Yves' Occupation in Danticat's The Farming of Bones

In Edwidge Danticat's novel The Farming of Bones, the character Yves does not pursue sugarcane harvesting, farming, construction work, or being a tour guide at the Citadel as his occupation in Haiti.

The novel itself does not specify Yves' exact occupation, but provides a rich context of Haitian history, including the extensive labor involved in 1) sugarcane harvesting during the colonial era and the social upheaval resulting from structural changes in the economy and agriculture.

Within the tumultuous backdrop of Haitian history, which included the Haitian Revolution led by figures such as Toussaint Louverture and Jean-Jacques Dessalines, the novel explores themes of love, memory, and survival amidst the 1937 Parsley Massacre.
