Book by Smith, Patrick Bellegarde

Haitian-American Author Cindy Similien-Johnson collaborates with Dominican-American Artist Paola Velez on a book that recounts and celebrates childhood memories of Haiti. Written in poetic and hushed tones accompanied by whimsical and dreamlike illustrations, the book introduces young readers to the beauty and wonder of Haiti. Haitian Creole Version is also available as "Ayiti Se."

In Haiti - Haitii Jean-Bertrand Aristide combines the artistry of Swahili with the poetic incisiveness of his native Kreyol to produce an eloquent critique of colonialism and an affirmation of humanist principles. Aristide uses poetry, prose and proverbs to tell the epic story of Haiti, the world's first independent Black republic. He chronicles the brutality of the colonisers and the ways in which they attempted to dehumanise Haitians. Aristide illustrates how Haitians' 300-year journey to freedom has been guided by the African philosophy of Ubuntu, a world view that emphasises human solidarity. Today, Aristide writes, it is this same philosophy that can empower a new generation of Africans to resist neo-colonialism. This book is the inspiring inside story of the country which has both suffered in unimaginable ways and dared to dream of freedom. It will be essential reading for all those interested in the past, present and future of Haiti and the prospects for national liberation across the world in the 21st century.

The Haitian Revolution began in 1791 as a slave revolt on the French colonial island of Saint Domingue and ended thirteen years later with the founding of an independent black republic. Waves of French West Indians--slaves, white colonists, and free blacks--fled the upheaval and flooded southern U.S. ports, most notably New Orleans, bringing with them everything from French opera to voodoo. Alfred N. Hunt discusses the ways these immigrants influenced southern agriculture, architecture, language, politics, religion, and the arts. By affecting the development of racial ideology in antebellum America, Hunt concludes, the Haitian Revolution was a major contributing factor to the attitudes that led to the Civil War.

Haiti was the first state admitted the Hellenic (Greek) National Independence on 15 January 1822. Haiti was the first state that recognized the sacred struggle of the Greeks for independence. Haiti was itself a country since 1791 that had fought for freedom and was well aware of the struggles of the Greek people who longed for their freedom. On January 15, 1822 the President of Haiti Jean-Pierre Boyer in his letter of the Greek Committee of Paris announced its recognition of the Greek Interim Administration and wished the victory of the Revolution. It was the first official recognition of the Greek State (Hellas) from a foreign country. The Greeks are people with pride. Let us not forget the first state that officially recognized the modern Greek State. Glory to Ayiti, Peyi Dayiti, Haiti... We are so far from Haiti but very close to our minds. This book is devoted to the 100 black soldiers from Haiti who died helping the Greek fight for independence. Texts are in Greeks, Haitian Creole and English

This book, a critical study of Haiti's place in the New World Order, examines the limits of its democratic revolution” and the prospects for social change. Exploring why the successive military governments in power between 1986 and 1990 were unable to implement the neoliberal economic reforms sanctioned by the World Bank and USAID, Dupuy also analyzes the emergence, composition, and objectives of the popular democratic movement that challenged the military and led to the electoral victory of Jean-Bertrand Aristide.The book provides a comprehensive evaluation of Aristide's religious, social, and political thought and practice; the nature of the opposition to Aristide from the Catholic Church, the Haitian bourgeoisie, and the military; and the causes of the military coup d'état in 1991. Dupuy explains why, in a clear policy shift, the United States opposed a coup against the radical populist president, enumerates the concessions it won from Aristide as a condition of his return, and discusses the implications for the democratic process of military intervention and the adoption of the neoliberal model.
