Some Haiti-Related Posts

I came across some great, useful, and interesting posts pertaining to Haiti in the past few days. La Revue Indigène, started by the moderators of Haitian History on Tumblr, has posted again. Haitian History on Tumblr has also posted a useful overview of Duvalierism. And last but certainly not least, two lists of great 2014 books on Haiti from The Public Archive and Celucien Joseph are online.

Haiti on Tumblr

Sadly, my favorite history blog will likely never return. Haitian History Blog was not only high quality, sourced, and nuanced, but one of the few serious blogs on Haitian history. For a variety of reasons, the administrators got sick of disrespect and the Tumblr community, and while I sympathize with their plight and agree with them on some of the flaws of Tumblr, I hope they return to blogging with a wordpress. At the very least, they will keep the blog open so we can always return. In the meantime, we still have Haiti In the Americas, a great Tumblr blog associated with a graduate course at Yale on Haiti.
