Chancey, Myriam J. A., Framing Silence: Revolutionary Novels by Haitian Women, Rutgers University Press, 1997.

When Haitian politics is discussed, the role of female
artists is usually underrepresented. This book takes a
strongly feminist approach toward events and literature.
This is one of the few books that addresses the
history of radicalism in Haitian women's literature
and the way that the political history of the country
throughout the twentieth century affected it.

Rochman, Hazel, review, in Booklist, May 1, 1995.

This collection is very non-political, choosing examples
that celebrate life over those that are meant to
promote an agenda.

Rotberg, Robert I., Haiti: The Politics of Squalor, Houghton Mifflin, 1971.

This dated history does not have the most recent
information about the country, but it does give a good
and thorough background of what life was like up to
the 1970s.
