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-are representative
of 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 precontact indigenous Haiti and 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, or modernization, The Haiti Reader provides an
unparalleled look at Haiti's history, culture, and politics.
