from Vintage
Price: $9.21

Customer Review:
CLR James' book 'Black Jacobins' is a classical, well written and deeply researched book on the black revolution of Haiti, the first independent country in the New World. The book is a great read, and even after all the years past since the first edition, it has still to be matched by any volume in... more info

from Belknap Press of Harvard University Press
Price: $15.09

Customer Review:
I had to buy this for my class I am studying, so it was what I needed. I don't read much and it seemed like a pretty easy read for me. He jumped around a lot with different years. He would talk about something in the future and then in the past and then back and forth. That was a big confusing, but... more info

from University of Pittsburgh Press
Price: $42.11

Customer Review:
I came to this book having vigorously debated within a Hegel reading group alternate approaches to reading the Phenomenology: either by decoding the abstract language for concrete historical references (with guides such as Kojeve's) or by allowing the language to remain formal and transcendental in... more info

Maya Deren was an experimental filmmaker in the 40's who traveled to Haiti in the hopes of making a film about Haitian dance. She was also a dancer. See "In the Mirror of Maya Deren," and definitely see "Maya Deren: Experimental Films."

6.Silencing the PastSilencing the Past
from Beacon Press
Price: $13.89

Customer Review:
If you liked any of Howard Zinn's books, you'll like this. Trouillot's analysis of historiography goes far beyond "history is written by the victors" to talk about the deliberate and systematic way that some voices, events, and narratives are excluded from the dominant historical record. If the... more info

7.The Uses of Haiti (3rd Edition)The Uses of Haiti (3rd Edition)
from Common Courage Press

Customer Review:
Paul Farmer is a wonderful human being who has devoted his life to helping the poor of Haiti get medical care. This is barely mentioned in the book. To me, this gives his opinions even more credibility.
He details the abuses of Haiti by our hegemony and then details the reasons for these... more info

from Basic Civitas Books
Price: $5.78

Customer Review:
Voilà some of Robinson's features in the first pages of his book:
Haiti was called "Saint Domingue" while it was still a French colony. However, Robinson uses some new interpretations of the spelling of this name; which is, after all, not some obscure appellation but the very subject of... more info
