The Haitian Creole Language is the first book that deals broadly with a language that has too long lived in the shadow of French. With chapters contributed by the leading scholars in the study of Creole, it provides information on this language's history; structure; and use in education, literature, and social interaction. Although spoken by virtually all Haitians, Creole was recognized as the co-official language of Haiti only a little over twenty years ago. The Haitian Creole Language provides essential information for professionals, other service providers, and Creole speakers who are interested in furthering the use of Creole in Haiti and the Haitian diaspora. Increased language competencies would greatly promote the education of Creole speakers and their participation in the social and political life of their countries of residence. This book is an indispensable tool for those seeking knowledge about the centrality of language in the affairs of Haiti, its people, and its diaspora.

This is a book of poems by one of the best writers of Haitian Creole. Many of the texts in this book, such as Rezistans, Veve, or Pawol Aveg are destined to become part of the classics in Haitian literature. This volume also offers a Spanish translation of the poems.

This book is a musical play about the poignant love between two young people, Lovana and Kandyo. It is a tale of love and death. The story line and the musical score draw heavily upon the folklore of Haiti, but speak of events and struggles in modern life.Thus the play opens doors to multiple worlds at the same time. No doubt it is a metaphor for the everlasting quest of the people of Haiti for transformation, their courage in the face of adversity, and their profound faith in a better life. The text is written in a very poetic style of Haitian Creole.
