Killing the Elites
In the summer and fall of 1964, a massacre took place in the small town of Jérémie, Haiti. After an ill-fated uprising, the brutal regime of François “Papa Doc” Duvalier ordered reprisals against the town that some of the insurgents were allegedly from. Entire families—all from the town’s upper class—were slaughtered. Through a rich historical ethnography of the massacre, Jean-Philippe Belleau offers a new account of the workings of the Duvalier regime and an innovative analysis of anti-elite violence. Killing the Elites meticulously reconstructs the various phases of the massacre, identifying the victims and perpetrators, tracing the social ties that linked them, and examining ...

Haiti Will Not Perish
The world’s first independent black republic, Haiti was forged in the fire of history’s only successful slave revolution. Yet more than two hundred years later, the full promise of that revolution – a free country and a free people – remains unfulfilled. Home for more than a decade to one of the world’s largest UN peacekeeping forces, Haiti's tumultuous political culture – buffeted by coups and armed political partisans – combined with economic inequality and environmental degradation to create immense difficulties even before the devastating 2010 earthquake killed tens of thousands of people. This grim tale, however, is not the whole story. In this moving and detailed history, Michael Deibert, who has spent two decades reporting on Haiti, chronicles the heroic struggles of Haitians to build their longed-for country in the face of overwhelming odds. Based on hundreds of interviews with Haitian political leaders, international diplomats, peasant advocates and gang leaders, as well as ordinary Haitians, Deibert’s book provides a vivid, complex and challenging analysis of Haiti’s recent history.
Fort-Dimanche, Fort-La-Mort
Fort-Dimanche, Fort-La-Mort En 1996, avec la première édition de Fort-Dimanche, Fort-la Mort, Patrick Lemoine a bouleversé la société haïtienne, tant en Haïti que dans sa diaspora, par le témoignage poignant de ses années passées dans les geôles de Fort-Dimanche, sous le régime de Jean-Claude Duvalier. Son cri déchirant a fait l’unanimité : d’un réalisme tétanisant, ce livre ose témoigner ce que d’autres ont seulement suggéré. Il témoigne de la descente aux enfers d’un être humain qui, loin de régresser à l’état de bête humaine, démontre la capacité hors du commun d’un homme à faire face à l’adversité et à l’horreur tout en luttant pour conserve...
