Description

The earthquake that struck Haiti on January 12, 2010 thrust the nation into the public consciousness as never before.

That terrible event piqued interest in a remarkable country with a rich history as both the first black republic in the world and the first country to break free of European imperialism in Latin America.

Haiti Rising brings together more than 20 of the most prominent authorities on Haiti in to provide both a historical and cultural introduction to Haiti and a chance for earthquake survivors to testify to their experiences.

Ranging widely across politics, society, history, art and culture, contributors such as Maryse Condé, Yanick Lahens, Evelyne Trouillot, J.

Michael Dash and Laurent Dubois illuminate this most extraordinary of countries and the tragedy that befell it in 2010.

Haiti Rising will stand as a written document of this cataclysmic event in Haitian history and as a monument to the experiences of those who were in Haiti at the time of the earthquake.

It is vital reading for anyone who wants to find out more about Haiti, and the prospects for its future.

All royalties from the book will be donated to the Haitian Art Relief Fund.
