Customer Review:
I am a Haitian, lived in Haiti until I came to the States at 28. I went back to visit the graves of my ancestors a few months before the departure of the monster Aristide.

Customer Review:
Don't purchase this book if you're looking for an in-depth travel book, an economic or cultural primer. Do purchase this book if you would like to get a general overview of Haiti, that includes a brief mention of the voodoo religion (spelled voodou in the book). It's a good starter book to learn... more info

6.Silencing the PastSilencing the Past
from Beacon Press
Price: $14.40

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

from Hill and Wang
Price: $10.88

Customer Review:
I read this book several months ago. I don't know. I was not particularly enamored with the writing style. The story was more about Dominica, and Haiti seemed to be a sideline story.
However, I did gain some insights and it prompted me to read more books about the island, particularly Haitian... more info

from Palgrave Macmillan
Price: $37.55

Customer Review:
Philippe Girard's book about the chaos and utter hopelessness of Haiti makes for mesmerizing but disheartening reading. It seems that for 200 years, Haiti has been plagued by voodoo-like bad luck. Haiti's slaves may have staged the first and only successful uprising against one of the most brutal... more info
