Haitian history book for sale

stumax — Sun, 03 Jul 2005 20:18:05 +0000

This notice popped up on the wiki recently, and I thought I’d repeat the message here. There’s a used copy of Black Democracy, the Story of Haiti, by H.P. Davis, available for sale by one of our wiki readers. Click here for the message and email address. Even though it was written in 1928, Bob Corbett calls this book the second-best history of Haiti in English.

By the way if you’re at all interested in Haitian history, you must know about Professor Corbett. His site is is an invaluable resource for the casual scholar, and his mailing list is a place of lively and enlightening debate. The good professor also has a sizable chunk of his personal library availble for sale. Click here for a current list.
