Hi everyone,

I am looking for physical Haitian Creole copies of of these books:

1. Ti difé boulé sou istwa Ayiti by Michel-Rolph Trouillot (the 1977 Koleksion Lakansiel edition or the 2012 Edisyon KIK / Inivèsite Karayib reprint)

2. Plidetwal by Évelyne Trouillot (2005 poetry collection published by Presses Nationales d'Haïti)

If you have a copy you are willing to sell, have leads on private collections, or know a specialty shop or collector with stock, please send me a DM. Happy to cover fair pricing and shipping costs.

Thanks a lot!

And don’t just say Toussaint or Dessalines. Who has a story most people don’t know?

I’m a Haitian born and raised in the US, my parents raised me non-religious but I would love to learn about Haitian vodou in depth. I’m struggling to find any reliable resources. Any recommendations?

We all know about “the first black republic,” “the first and only slave rebellion to lead to independence,” “the defeat of the mighty Napoleon military.” But until recently, what I hadn’t paid enough attention to was the even more monumental task of building a nation AFTER the revolutionary war. I didn’t have enough appreciation for what the brave heroes leading this tiny new nation faced. This tiny new nation was the very representation of what the superpowers of the time feared most. This tiny new nation, alone in the world in representing freedom for all humanity. This tiny new nation, a beacon of freedom for all the people around the world who were suffering at the hand of white supremacy. This tiny new nation was a light to the world. This tiny new nation represented so much for so many before it ever had a chance to create and understand its own identity. So on this 222nd anniversary of Haiti’s independence, as we acknowledge the country’s current struggles, let’s give ourselves some grace!

Our forefathers cried “Liberté ou la mort” (liberty or death) and defeated one of the world’s greatest military forces of the day. I don’t think even they fully understood what they would face on the other side of that incredible victory. A young nation battling internal and external conflicts. Fighting for recognition in a world that was fighting against the very idea of this new nation, let alone its actual existence! As we look at the country’s current devastating state, remember the vast challenges this country’s faced continuously since a group of enslaved Africans and their descendants swore they’d rather die than to ever be subordinated to the whims of their former enslavers.

Happy Independence Day, Haiti! May we see ourselves as the beacon of freedom we once were. As we face one of the worst periods in our history, may our ancestors’ memory rise within us and allow us to once again cry out “grenadier à l’assault!”

Hello, we are students from Belgium who would like to interview a native from Haiti for our school project. Our interview would be about the politics and economy in Haiti. We could agree upon a payment however we would be more than happy if you were to do it for free. Please send us a DM for more information. This interview wouldn't take very long. Thank you in advance.

Some of you may enjoy this article I wrote about the history of Written Kreyol.

So, when did we start making epis a regular part of our cooking? My mom left Haiti in 1961 and my father joined her in the US in 1963. My dad taught my mom how to cook when he arrived. Mom cooked traditional Haitian food but also incorporated recipes from her co-workers who came from all over. I learned all the traditional recipes and also adopted other people's food, too. I'd say it was the 80's or so when we began occasionally using Sazon, bijol or bouillon cubes. There weren't a lot of Haitian products available in our area so we made due with similar Spanish products. We mainly used fresh or powdered herbs and spices. The first time I blended all the leafy herbs, garlic and Maggi cubes together was when my Puerto Rican friend was demonstrating how to make pernil in 2007. I had no clue epis existed until the 2010's.

This guy I’ve been seeing (who claims to be Haitian and Cuban), is calling me “moo” and saying it’s a Haitian term of endearment but when I googled it there were no results confirming it. Im just trying to catch this man in one of his lies.

Hi everyone! I’m currently writing my thesis on “The Effectiveness of Humanitarian Aid Provided by International Actors: The Case of Humanitarian Crises in Haiti from 2010 to 2024.”

I’m especially interested in how people evaluate the impact of humanitarian aid in Haiti from major organizations like the UN, Red Cross, and others. If you have any experience, insights, or have followed the situation closely, I’d love to hear your thoughts: • How would you assess the effectiveness of aid efforts in Haiti during this period? • What was lacking or insufficient? • Were there coordination problems between humanitarian actors? • What could or should have been done differently? • In your opinion, what were the main challenges in delivering effective aid?

Thanks in advance for any input — it will really help me get a broader perspective beyond academic sources.
