The Armorial of Haiti: Symbols of Nobility in the Reign of Henry Christophe
Publisher: The College of Arms
Hardback; 215 pages
Isbn: 978-09506980-2-1
Language: English
Description: In 1804, after more than a decade of violent rebellion and war, the state of Haiti was born. Many of the leaders of the nation were ex-slaves who had fought for liberty and independence under Toussaint Louverture. Within four years the new country had split in two, and in 1811 Henry Christophe, the ruler of the northern part, made himself king and appointed a new nobility from his leading supporters.
The Manuscript published in this book is a rare and beautiful survival: a volume depicting in bold, colourful, systematic and studious detail, the coats of arms of King Henry's nobility. It will fascinate anyone intersted in heraldic art and design, in monarchial and national symbolism, or in the history of the Caribbean and the aftermath of slavery.

Publisher: UCLA Fowler Museum of Cultural History, Los Angeles, 2005
Paperback: 68 pages
ISBN: 0-9748729-1-1
Language: English
Book Description:Born in Port-au-Prince in 1954, Haitian artist Edouard Duval-Carrie studied in Canada and at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris before settling in Miami where he continues to live and work. Divine Revolution presents sequined banners, canvases with ornate frames, and a dramatic altar, all demonstrating the profound influence of Vodou and Haiti’s complex cultural and political history. These works range in subject matter from celebrations and chronicles of the Haitian Revolution to examinations of the current plight of Haiti and its people.
Duval-Carrie's art reveals a side of the Haitian experience that is not evident on the nightly news. The surreal starlit journeys of the Vodou deities and spirits who populate his paintings, juxtaposed with his carnivalesque portrayals of oppressive colonial and contemporary regimes, offer insight into the paradoxes of Haitian existence and the ambivalent nature of power itself, as well as a vision of the integrity of Haiti's ritual and spiritual practices. amazon |

Madame Dread: A tale of Love, Vodou, and Civil Strife in Haiti
Author: Klarreich, Kathie
Publisher: Nation Books, 2005
Paperback: 352 pages
isbn: 1-56025-780-6
Language: English
Description: back cover
Civil violence mass slaughter, coups, and U.S. intervention: Kathie Klarriech saw all this up close and on a daily basis as a reporter in Haiti. Often risking life and limb, mistaken for a CIA agent, losing a man she loved to an assassin’s bullet – she tenaciously soldiered on, establishing credentials and contacts, and developed an unsparing eye that led major news organizations such as the New York Times, NBC, CNN, PBS, Time and NPR to count on her expertise throughout Haiti’s turbulent years.
This compelling memoir interweaves shattering political events with an intensely personal narrative about the Haitian musician she eventually marries (and has a child with) who turns out to be as riveting and complicated as the political events she covered.
About the Author
Kathie Klarreich now lives in Florida. She has reported on Haiti for the Christian Science Monitor, San Francisco Chronicle, NPR, All Things Considered, U.S. News and World Report, and the New York Times, as well as NBC, CNN and ABC. amazon

Ms. Fabius is involved in many creative endeavors, including running Lakaye Studio, which manufactures a line of henna body painting kits; creating a line of one-of-a-kind jewelry designs; and curating independent museum exhibits--but she enjoys writing best.

ISBN-13: 978-1413480146
Description:
Ishmael Reed Publishing Company is proud to introduce UNDER BURNING
WHITE SKY, the first poetry collection to be published by Boadiba, a
Haitian-born poet and translator who currently lives in the San
Francisco Bay Area.
Boadiba’s poetry, well-known to American poets and poetry lovers
since her arrival in the United States in the 1980s, can now be easily
shared through this ninety page collection of twenty-five years of work.
Acclaimed for her distinctive poetry readings based in Haitian cultural
and musical traditions, her searingly honest poems reflect her deep
knowledge of her Haitian heritage, cutting edge contemporary art, and
experiences gained through many travels.
In her "Introduction" Boadiba writes, "I sing those who make gardens of
their mountain towns, who make theater among the trees, those who
send fire words flying in the face of censorship, those who are always
willing to offer knowledge and competency for the good of Haiti,
without giving in to the waste and corruption that so far has
accompanied the office of power." amazon
