Fellow Scholars,
An earlier message (dated June 2, 2020) mentioned that Volume 4 of the "Encyclopedie Biographique d' Haiti" by Ernst Trouillot and Ertha Pascal Trouillot was delayed due the COVID pandemic.
I am informed that Volume 4, which completes the series, is now available for sale, as are the the first three volumes. The 4-volume series includes about 2,000 pages of biographies covering the history of Haiti from the precolonial period to the present. The whole set includes rare biographies and will serve as a great resource for institutional libraries.
At the start of the twentieth century the Haitian language, Kreyòl, was considered a vulgar dialect of French. It was excluded from written and formal contexts, and as a result most of the population was effectively barred from education and other institutional settings. A century later, it is considered a full-fledged language and is used in virtually all contexts.
Mapping the Haitian Revolution is an interactive map and timeline project that traces the narratives of power and shifting alliances across geography and time from precolonial kingdoms through the Revolution and up to Haiti’s current borders with the Dominican Republic. At its core is a 17-map progression, offering layered historical information and links tied to an interactive timeline that can be manually or automatically played.
