Geographies of the Haitian Diaspora
This edited collection examines the diversity of the Haitian experience in diaspora to ask how we might situate and conceptualize community in view of increased scholarly attention to transnational processes.
Aftershock
For four consecutive days in early 2010, it was the number one news story in the world. Ten Americans left the security and comfort of their homes, placed jobs on hold, and left family and friends behind to help Haitian children victimized by the January 12, 2010, earthquake. Despite their admirable intents, the Christians were charged with kidnapping, criminal association, and attempting to arrange "irregular" travel. What Satan intended for evil, God used for good. Experience their unwavering faith. Experience their reliance on God's sustaining power, His endless grace, and His abiding presence. And trust, as they trust, that God will use their sacrifices to bring about meaningful change in Haiti. The full measure of their service is yet to be realized

Seeds in a Dark Fruit Sky
Seeds in a Dark Fruit Sky is a bi-lingual collection of narrative non-fiction stories from Haiti. This book is a unique opportunity for the world to hear the voice of this small country written in English and Haitian Creole. This collection shows the reality of Haiti by sharing the Haitians' stories of everyday life and life-shaping moments. Diving deep into these moments, the reader will be able to humanize a country that is often forgotten and alienated. These snapshots of real life range from daily routines to life-altering decisions and events in people's lives in Haiti, including stories of the daily search for clean water and a mother walking seven hours to get to a doctor for her sick child. All 48 short stories originated from interviews with locals in Jeremie, Haiti.The stories were written in English and then translated into Creole, the language of Haiti. With both languages, those who are attempting to learn one of the languages will have the opportunity to practice by reading this book. Seeds in a Dark Fruit Sky is expanding the way we can share stories, and it is a way to keep these stories firmly connected to their Haitian roots.
The Haitian Revolution
"A landmark collection of documents by the field's leading scholar. This reader includes beautifully written introductions and a fascinating array of never-before-published primary documents. These treasures from the archives offer a new picture of colonial Saint-Domingue and the Haitian Revolution. The translations are lively and colorful." --Alyssa Sepinwall, California State University San Marcos
Black Interdictions
In Black Interdictions, Philip Kretsedemas exposes the antiblack racism latent in the U.S. government’s Haitian refugee policies of the 1980s and 1990s which set the tone for the criminalization of migrants and refugees in the new millennium and lead to the migration and refugee policies of the Trump era and beyond. This type of radical exclusion is singular to the black experience and the black/nonblack binary must be factored into an analysis of the US migration regime. It is not possible to work together for equity and justice if we are not prepared to grapple with this divisive history and the instinct to avoid dealing with the singularity of the black experience. This book will be of interest to scholars of migration and refugee studies, black studies, legal studies, public policy and international relations, and many others.
