The Haiti Reader

“The Haiti Reader is a remarkable resource for all those who want to learn more about Haiti and its history, politics, literature and culture. Filled with primary sources, some translated here for the first time, this book is a vital and urgently needed guide to an often maligned and misunderstood yet magnificent country.” - Edwidge Danticat, author of (Brother, I'm Dying) “Bravo to this editorial collective! With its span from early history to the present, this reader is set to demolish the distorted myths from reality in ways that will undoubtedly disrupt the incessant narratives of exceptionalism plaguing the first Black Republic. This is a revelatory and textured collection of Haitian modernity that brings more of Haitian studies out of exile into the world, and which will become referential for years to come, both in and out of the classroom.” - Gina Athena Ulysse, author of (Because When God Is Too Busy: Haiti, Me, and the World) "This well-crafted and welcome addition includes a carefully chosen selection of about 80 mostly short but telling entries on Haiti. . . . This book will prove invaluable for anyone researching Haiti’s past and its recent present across the usual political, social, and cultural dimensions." - R. I. Rotberg (Choice) "Those who have not had the pleasure of browsing a Haitian bookstore, combing through archives on Haiti, or taking a class on Haitian writers… will find that The Haiti Reader provides a helpful and well-curated sampler of Haitian thought, literature, and history.… This book is a gift to the English-language world and provides a taste of the richness of Haitian thought and experience since the revolutionary founding of the nation." - Anna Versulis (Journal of Historical Geography) “The strength of The Haiti Reader is the way humanities and history are blended to paint a more complete image of Haiti and its cultural significance in the US.... This accessible text is a must for anyone wishing to learn about Haiti from a Haitian/diasporic perspective." - Tia K. Butler (E3W Review of Books) “The Haiti Reader is an excellent introduction to Haitian culture, literature, and history. The volume is diverse and interdisciplinary in its content, scope, and ambition. . . . It will become the standard anthology on Haiti.” - Celucien L. Joseph (Early American Literature)
