This book covers the history of Haiti starting in 1492 with the
initial European landing of the island to the present day. Haiti
shares the island of Hispaniola with the Dominican Republic. Haiti
proclaimed its independence from France on January 1, 1804
following the only successful slave evolution in the Americas. As a
result of the Haitian Revolution (1791-1804), Haiti became the
first independent Latin American nation and the second independent
nation in the Western Hemisphere, after the United States.
Throughout its history it has suffered political violence, and a
devastating earthquake which killed over 300,000 people. Historical
Dictionary of Haiti, Second Edition contains a chronology, an
introduction, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section
has more than 500 cross-referenced entries on important
personalities as well as aspects of the country's politics,
economy, foreign relations, religion, and culture. This book is an
excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to
know more about South Africa.
