Book excerpt: Columbus did not discover the Americas. However, what he and the conquistadors did accomplish make "Isis" look like Boy Scouts. Several people including Africans had traveled to the Americas long before Columbus. He initiated the genocide of millions of indigenous people and ushered in the Atlantic slave trade, introducing Africans providing free labor for hundreds of years. To justify this behavior lies had to be invented and perpetuated. Peaceful and resourceful Indigenous people were labeled cannibals and Africans as savages, with little positive effect on civilization. Contributions to civilization by many African Kingdoms and Empires over centuries had to be systematically ignored to ensure the maximum effect of the lies. The introduction of free African labor into Haiti created "The Pearl of the Antilles" supplying vast amounts of sugar coffee and indigo enriching the French coffers for one hundred years. This prosperity could have continued even after the French abolished slavery in 1794. Toussaint Louverture was one of the greatest men that ever lived. What he achieved is unimaginable leading an army consisting mainly of former slaves defeating French, British, and Spanish forces. Defending his country for over a dozen years from external and internal forces keeping his people free. The Haitian revolution was the catalyst that facilitated The Louisiana Purchase enabling the United States to instantly double in size. Inside the newly acquired territory, two different sets of people were slaughtered because of their economic success, the people who created The Black Wall Street and the Osage Indian Nation.

Book excerpt: Long before a devastating earthquake hit in January 2010, Haiti was one of the most impoverished and oppressed countries in the world. However, in the late 1980s a remarkable popular mobilization known as Lavalas ("the flood") sought to liberate the island from decades of US-backed dictatorial rule. Damming the Flood analyzes how and why the Lavalas governments led by President Jean-Bertrand Aristide were overthrown, in 1991 and again in 2004, by the enemies of democracy in Haiti and abroad. The elaborate campaign to suppress Lavalas was perhaps the most successful act of imperial sabotage since the end of the Cold War. It has left the people of Haiti at the mercy of some of the most rapacious political and economic forces on the planet. Updated with a substantial new afterword that addresses the international response to the earthquake, Damming the Flood is both an invaluable account of recent Haitian history and an illuminating analysis of twenty-first-century imperialism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contrary to popular notions, Haiti-U.S. relations have not only been about Haitian resistance to U.S. domination. In Haiti and the Uses of America, Chantalle F. Verna makes evident that there have been key moments of cooperation that contributed to nation-building in both countries. In the years following the U.S. occupation of Haiti (1915-1934), Haitian politicians and professionals with a cosmopolitan outlook shaped a new era in Haiti-U.S. diplomacy. Their efforts, Verna shows, helped favorable ideas about the United States, once held by a small segment of Haitian society, circulate more widely. In this way, Haitians contributed to and capitalized upon the spread of internationalism in the Americas and the larger world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After Haiti was struck by a devastating earthquake on January 12, 2010, aid workers and offers of support poured in from around the world. Tellingly, though, news reports on the catastrophe and relief efforts frequently included a pejorative description of the country that outsiders were determined to rebuild: the troubled island nation, a nation plagued by political violence. There was much talk of inventing a “new” Haiti, which would presumably mimic Western modes of development and thus mitigate political instability and crisis. As contributors to this wide-ranging book reveal, Haiti has long been marginalized as an embodiment of alterity, as the other, and the idea of a new Haiti is actually nothing new. An investigation of the notion of newness through the lenses of history and literature, urban planning, religion, and governance, The Idea of Haiti illuminates the politics and the narratives of Haiti’s past and present. The essays, which grow from original research and in-depth interviews, examine how race, class, and national development inform the policies that envision re-creating the country. Together the contributors address important questions: How will the present narratives of deviance affect international relief and rebuilding efforts? What do Haitians themselves think about Haiti, old and new? What are the potential complications and weakness of aid strategies during these trying times? And what do we mean by crisis in Haiti?

It is a gift to cherish and to share with others in your life, while reminding us to be thankful for the goodness of our own lives. These words will break your heart and hopefully break your heart open to the wideness of God's presence and love among us—here at home and in Haiti. (Megan McKenna insights)I am so thankful to be able to share my experience with you. I am humbled by my opportunity to be so close to God and to help as many people as I could. This book, and its sales, are a tribute to Haiti. All the proceeds from this book are going straight to the Holy Trinity Episcopal Church in Melbourne Florida, to support the people of Haiti. I am encouraged that so many of you are requesting copies and were inspiring me to write this in the first place. Thank you and God Bless You.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Even before the 2010 earthquake, Haiti was known as a benighted place of poverty and corruption, and has often been blamed for its own wretchedness. But as historian Laurent Dubois makes clear, its difficulties are rooted in its founding revolution, the only successful slave revolt in the history of the world; the hostility that this rebellion generated among the colonial powers; and the intense struggle within Haiti itself to define its newfound freedom and realize its promise. Dubois vividly depicts the isolation and impoverishment that followed the 1804 uprising. He details how the indemnity imposed by the former French rulers initiated a devastating cycle of debt, while frequent interventions by the United States further undermined Haiti's independence. At the same time, Dubois shows, the internal debates about what Haiti should do with its hard-won liberty alienated the nation's leaders from the broader population, setting the stage for enduring political conflict. Yet the Haitian people have never given up on their struggle for true democracy.--From publisher description.

Book excerpt: Born in Haiti, Bertony Paul saw, at firsthand, difficulties that fought the dreams of common Haitians. He swore to become a catalyst in his community and undermine the cycle of poverty that had long plagued his nation. Throughout his travels in the Dominican Republic, France and the United States, Paul learned myriad ways of combatting poverty. He saw that the common thread through such efforts was a strong willingness to work consistently towards development of new mindsets and methods. In the United States, an observant Paul saw a triangle of ideas constantly at work. Those ideas populate the Wolove dream for Haiti. Those ideas form what Paul coins, The American Triangle of Success. Wolove: A Haitian-American's Dream is a clarion call for possibility in Haiti and in any nation that is willing to work towards a better future. It is a book that challenges us all to become active stakeholders in our communities and countries.

Book excerpt: NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD WINNER • "Unforgettable tales of families and lovers—from Haiti to Miami, Brooklyn, and beyond—often struggling with grief, loss, and missed connections.” —Vanity Fair • A TODAY Show Read with Jenna Book Club Pick! A romance unexpectedly sparks between two wounded friends. A marriage ends for what seem like noble reasons, but with irreparable consequences. A young woman holds on to an impossible dream even as she fights for her survival. Two lovers reunite after unimaginable tragedy, both for their country and in their lives. A baby’s christening brings three generations of a family to a precarious dance between old and new. A man falls to his death in slow motion, reliving the defining moments of the life he is about to lose. Set in locales from Miami and Port-au-Prince to a small unnamed country in the Caribbean and beyond, here are eight emotionally absorbing stories, rich with hard-won wisdom and humanity. At once wide in scope and intimate, Everything Inside explores with quiet power and elegance the forces that pull us together or drive us apart, sometimes in the same searing instant.

Book excerpt: As neoliberal philosophies and economic models spread across the globe, faith-based non-governmental ("third-sector") organizations have proliferated. They increasingly fill the gaps born of state neglect by designing and delivering social services and development programming. This collection shines a much-needed critical light onto these organizations by exploring the varied ways that faith-based organizations attempt to mend the fissures and mitigate the effects of neoliberal capitalism and development practices on the poor and powerless. The essays--grounded in empirical case studies--cover such topics as the meaning of "faith-based" development, evaluations of faith-based versus secular approaches, the influence of faith-orientation on program formulation and delivery, and examinations of faith-based organizations' impacts on structural inequality and poverty alleviation. Bridging the Gaps demonstrates the vital importance of ethnography for understanding the particular role of faith-based agencies in Latin America, revealing both the promise and the limitations of this "new" mode of development.
