Staying on the island of Hispaniola, HaitianEdwidge Danticat's Brother, I'm Dying published by Knopf won for autobiography.

This startling simple book is chock full of the tragedy of history and current immigration policy against the Haitian community. I finished reading this about a month ago. It should be added to your library, ahora.
