Description: Spanning the centuries between pre-contact indigenous Haiti to the aftermath of the 2010 earthquake, the selections in The Haiti Reader introduce readers to Haiti's dynamic history and culture from the viewpoint of Haitians from all walks of life.
Review Quotes: "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"
