Suzanne Dracius defines herself as a Kalazaza, a creole word meaning a light skinned mixed race person; she claims African, European, Indian, Caribbean and Chinese ancestry. She has made the fight against any kind of racial, sexual or social discrimination the issue and the subject of her writing.[3] Her books L’Autre qui danse and Rue Monte au Ciel have been translated into English as Climb to the Sky and The dancing other, and Italian; also an anthology of poetry, Calazaza's delicious dereliction : poems.[4][5][6]
