DUKE UNIVERSITY PRESS : While
Haiti established the second independent nation in the Western
Hemisphere and was the first black country to gain independence from
European colonizers, its history is not well known in the Anglophone
world. The Haiti Reader
introduces readers to Haiti's dynamic history and culture from the
viewpoint of Haitians from all walks of life. Its dozens of selections
— most of which appear here in English for the first
time — constitute representative works from Haiti's
scholarly, literary, religious, visual, musical, and political
cultures, and range from poems, novels, and political tracts to essays,
legislation, songs, and folk tales.
Spanning the centuries between pre-contact indigenous Haiti to the
aftermath of the 2010 earthquake, the Reader
covers widely known episodes in Haiti's history, such as the U.S.
military occupation and the Duvalier dictatorship, as well as
overlooked periods such as the decades immediately following Haiti's
“ second independence ” in 1934.
Whether
examining issues of political upheaval, the environment, and
modernization, The
Haiti Reader provides an unparalleled look at Haiti's
history, culture, and politics.
