Reviews
Haiti's history is tragic and noble, worth knowing for its own sake and essential to the country's future. This book is an admirable synthesis of that history--sensible, comprehensive, and gracefully written., Laurent Dubois is an impeccable scholar and a master storyteller. Haiti: The Aftershocks of History is the new standard work in English on the astounding panorama of Haitian history, from the seismic events of its founding to the earthquake of 2010., A book as welcome as it is timely: a lucid one-volume history of the nation, from Toussaint to the present, anchored in scholarship but rendered as a comprehensive-but-swift narrative for the general reader., Well-written, authoritative history... enriched by careful attention to what Haitian intellectuals have had to say about their country over the last two centuries., "Engrossing and deeply researched_ An admirable chronicle that dispels many of the myths that swirl around Haiti and frustrate an honest assessment of the country and its people."- The Miami Herald "[An] excellent, engaging history."- The New Yorker "A book as welcome as it is timely: a lucid one-volume history of the nation, from Toussaint to the present, anchored in scholarship but rendered as a comprehensive-but-swift narrative for the general reader."- The Nation, Very few times have I been able to say that I learned something new about a subject with which I am ostensibly familiar. But this is the case on virtually every page of Laurent Dubois's Haiti: The Aftershocks of History . Dubois, the veritable dean of Haitian studies, has produced that rarest of things: a highly entertaining narrative for the general reader, but one deeply satisfying to the scholar as well. This brilliant book, a compelling and colorful saga of the triumph and tragedy of Haitian revolution and freedom, should be required reading for anyone who wonders from whence the 'curse on Haiti' really emanated., This excellent, engaging history seeks to strip away centuries of mocking and reductive bias. Dubois's Haiti is a land of ceaseless activity, a ferment of suppression and insurrection exacerbated by the mercenary intrusions of foreign powers--in the past century, chiefly the United States. Dubois also traces a parallel history of bold social experiments on the part of everyday Haitians... Throughout, he makes clear how economic pressures and political crises have left even the county's better leaders hamstrung, without downplaying their failures in fulfilling Haiti's great promise., An admirable chronicle... Reading Haiti: The Aftershocks of History , I was repeatedly struck by the deep and detailed explanations of things that had never quite made sense to me about Haiti. Those 'aha' moments were some of the most satisfying passages in this engrossing and deeply-researched book., Featured by The New York Times as one of the "100 Notable Books of 2012" "Well-written, authoritative history… enriched by careful attention to what Haitian intellectuals have had to say about their country over the last two centuries." - The New York Times Book Review "A sweeping, passionate history of Haiti...

Wielding sharp, unsettling anecdotes and a flowing prose style, Dubois plumbs Haiti's rich and singular history-with its unlikely heroes and persuasive demons, its exploiters and its misérables , its compromisers and its intransigents-to teach us important and subtle lessons in revolution, occupation, and liberation. These lessons go well beyond the concerns of Haitianists to encompass the great surge of human history, which may well be bearing us, today, toward another similar age of revolution and upheaval." - Amy Wilentz , author of The Rainy Season, "Well-written, authoritative history... enriched by careful attention to what Haitian intellectuals have had to say about their country over the last two centuries." -- The New York Times Book Review "A sweeping, passionate history of Haiti...

Synopsis
A New York Times Notable Book of the Year Even before the devastating 2010 earthquake, Haiti was known as a benighted place of poverty and corruption, blamed by many for its own wretchedness. But as acclaimed historian Laurent Dubois demonstrates, Haiti's troubled present can only be understood by examining its complex past. The country's difficulties are inextricably rooted in its founding revolution---the only successful slave revolt in the history of the world; the hostility that this rebellion generated among the surrounding colonial powers; and the intense struggle within Haiti itself to define its newfound freedom and realize its promise. Revealing what lies behind the familiar moniker "the poorest nation in the Western Hemisphere," this indispensable book illuminates the foundations on which a new Haiti might yet emerge., A passionate and insightful account by a leading historian of Haiti that traces the sources of the country's devastating present back to its turbulent and traumatic history Even before the devastating 2010 earthquake, Haiti was known as a benighted place of poverty and corruption, blamed by many for its own wretchedness.
