REPORT OF THE SENATE, JUNE 8, 1870
This is another U.S. government report during the period of
the U.S. flirting heavily with annexing the Dominican Republic (San Domingo at that time). This battle was tied to Haiti since at the same time the U.S. was trying to get
Mole St. Nicholas from Haiti. This particular long Senate report contains the case of Hatch, court-marshalled in San Domingo. Also general reports on San Domingo.

BLOOD
New York: Heron Press, Inc., 1930. BLOOD is three short stories, all celebrating blood sacrifice in some form. The first story, Mamaloi, concerns alleged sacrifice of children in Haiti and cites Sir Spencer St. John as an authority. St. Mery is another source. The other two stories are set in Europe, one concerning a pure maiden who kills a white dove, and then an Andulusian tale of a priest who loves blood sacrifice in bull fights, cock fights and finally, human battles to-the-death, the "salsa." The book itself has a
colorful cover, is oversized and with thick pages and some intriguing wood cuts inside.
This is copy # 239 of the first 750 copies prnted of this book.

[St. Domingue]: AN INQUIRY INTO THE CAUSES OF THE INSURRECTION OF THE NEGROES IN THE ISLAND OF ST. DOMINGO. TO WHICH ARE ADDED, OBSERVATIONS OF M. GARRAN—COULON ON THE SANE SUBJECT, READ IN HIS ABSENCE BY M. GUADET, BEFORE THE NATICNAL ASSEMBLY, 29TH FEB. 1792. London: 1792. 32pp, later plain wrappers, stitched. Short tear to an inner margin with signature loose. Light wear and foxing, Good to Very Good.
The bloody slave revolt culminated in independence of Haiti, St. Domingue’s successor, caused almost total destruction of Saint Doningue. . .destroved France’s most lucrative colony.. .and transformed the entire balance of power.’ Davis Slavery and Human Stogress 6, 78. “The Haitian revolution of the 179O’s terrified American and European whites and was disastrous for the North American merchants who had supplied provisions for the French West Indian expansion. But the eclipse was a godsend for British, Brazilian, Cuban, and North American planters.” Id.
Abolitionists were quite anxious about “the kind of evolutionarv struggle and racial warfare that had ravaged Haiti.” Zd. at 115. Indeed, they were blamed for it. But this piece places the blame squarely on the planters, whose inhumane treatment of the slaves is deplored.
This is the first edition. NUC lists a 39—page edition
republished in Philadelphia later in 1792. Neither Sabin nor
Blockson cites this edition.

his signature under a photograph or lithorgraph of Toussaint. The book is in decent condition. On the title page there is a small triangle missing which is in a place where there was no text. Otherwise the book is fully intact, if worn.

- # 748z Wucker, Michele WHY THE COCKS FIGHT. DOMINICANS, HAITIANS AND THE STRUGGLE
FOR HISPANIOLA. Like two roosters in a fighting arena, the Dominican Republic and Haiti are encircled by barriers of geography and poverty. They share one Caribbean island, but their histories are as deeply divided as their cultures: one French-speaking and black, one Spanish-speaking and mulatto. And just as the owners of gamecocks contrive battles between their birds (a favorite sport in both countries) as a way of playing out human conflicts, Haitian and Dominican leaders stir up nationalist disputes or cultural and racial differences as a way of deflecting other kinds of turmoil. Michele Wucker's vivid account of these struggles highlights the features in Caribbean history that are still affecting Hispaniola today, including the often contradictory policies of the United States. 281 page study of the interrelationships between the two nations
and peoples with emphasis on the contemporary times.

This is a novel set in a fictional Caribbean nation which appears to be modeled after
Haiti. The jacket cover says: "To describe Asylum Island as "gold as honey, scented as a garden of flowers, and quiet as sleep" is to waste words on an impossible task. Suffice it to say that the name of this Caribbean paradise has two meanings: refuge, and madhouse. It was both for ColinStrathdee, the Scotsman of dubious past who came there to tutor Telemaque, son of the island's current ruler." Hard bound in original dust jacket in very good condition.

Hard bound in dust jacket, like new. 344 pages, index. This work examines an increasing trend in migration - transnationalism. Immigrants today are no longer rooted in one location. By building transnational social networks, economic alliances and political ideologies, they are able to cross the geographic and cultural boundaries of both their countries of origin and of settlement. Through ethnographic studies of immigrant populations from St Vincent, Grenada, Haiti and the Philippines to the United States, the authors aim to demonstrate that transnationalism is something other than expanded nationalism. They argue that by placing immigrants in a limbo between the settler and visitor, transnationalism challenges the concepts of citizenship and nationhood. Much of the study is focused on Haiti.

published as scholarly reports since the evidence was not strong enough. Yet he gave credence
to these as common beliefs in Haiti. So, in his senior years he wrote this road-story novel
to embody all these various legends. It is a marvelous read, and this is a very fine copy

First Edition, in original dust jacket and like new. 313 pages. 8.50 x 5.80 x 1.20 in. 16.8 oz. "After a long stay in England, a love affair that fell apart, travel to Africa and the Caribbean, Mitch Roberts is headed home. Home to his ranch, his horses, and maybe -- or maybe not -- his detective profession. But if Roberts is looking forward to an uneventful life, he has farther to go than a return to southern Colorado. His problems start when a beautiful airline flight attendant suggests he meet her for a drink at her favorite bar when he stops over in Miami. The bar's parking lot, however, comes equipped with two thugs who knock Mitch out, take his passport, credit cards, and every cent in his pocket and drive off in the rental car. -- Desperate, Mitch finds the phone number of the only person he knows in Miami -- a former college acquaintance, Bobby Hilliard a rather sleazy character who has made a lot of money in questionable ways, and is now an art dealer. When Mitch finds the woman from the plane at the man's mansion; he is quick to realize he has been set up. But an offer of a sorely needed large fee tempts him, and he accepts a job. He is to go to Haiti, find an agent whom Hilliard had sent down with money to buy a large number of paintings and who has disappeared, and buy more paintings to replace those that are lost. -- Haiti is dismaying. The police and officials openly scoff at Mitch and his mission and more subtly let him know that he should stop nosing around. He is half-ill from the tropical heat and humidity and sickened by the poverty and fear that is everywhere. The atmosphere of Haiti's dark folklore pervades daily life -- the frightening Baron Samedi is a very real presence. -- Mitch is convinced that Hilliard's agent has been murdered and the art stolen, but he is driven to go on, as much to earn his fee as for a feeling deep inside that the quest has some meaning for him. With a Haitian guide, a poor, educated, desperately loyal man, Mitch travels the country tracking down the artists of the missing paintings in remote towns and buying more of their art. -- Dold's books are inevitably highly praised; he is an extraordinarily fine writer whether his subject is a mediocre lawyer accused of murder (The Devil to Pay) or a female Chinese-American police detective outwitting the leaders of a drug ring (Schedule Two). His sense of place is so vivid and so strong the reader is with him, in the Congo, in Jamaica, at Christmastime in London. -- Samedi's Knapsack -- , imbued not only with criminal machinations of more than one kind, but with the beliefs of the Haitian people in evil spirits and the living dead is another strong and colorful thriller to burnish his fine reputation as a writer. Mitch Roberts travels to Haiti to purchase some artwork for a gallerist friend. In the poverty-stricken country, he finds himself being pursued by murderous practitioners of vodun, or voodoo"

- # 1625z Farmer, Paul INFECTIONS AND INEQUALITIES: THE MODERN PLAGUES
Berkely, CA: University of California Press, 1999. Hard bound in original dust jacket, like new. 375 pages. Paul Farmer has battled AIDS in rural Haiti and deadly strains of drug-resistant tuberculosis in the slums of Peru. A physician-anthropologist with more than fifteen years in the field, Farmer writes from the front lines of the war against these modern plagues and shows why, even more than those of history, they target the poor. This "peculiarly modern inequality" that permeates AIDS, TB, malaria, and typhoid in the modern world, and that feeds emerging (or re-emerging) infectious diseases such as Ebola and cholera, is laid bare in Farmer's harrowing stories of sickness and suffering.Challenging the accepted methodologies of epidemiology and international health, he points out that most current explanatory strategies, from "cost-effectiveness" to patient "noncompliance," inevitably lead to blaming the victims. In reality, larger forces, global as well as local, determine why some people are sick and others are shielded from risk. Yet this moving account is far from a hopeless inventory of insoluble problems. Farmer writes of what can be done in the face of seemingly overwhelming odds, by physicians determined to treat those in need. Infections and Inequalities weds meticulous scholarship with a passion for solutions--remedies for the plagues of the poor and the social maladies that have sustained them.

Hard bound, very good condition. Travel writer doesn't visit Haiti for this book's entry, but relies on letters from a group of Haitians whom he makes out to be most unreliable.

His view was that the horses of the Pine Forest were prehistoric or pre-Spanish, but this is dashed.

been other slave revolts, and the plan was then to "easily" put down the revolt. So, at least, goes the theory. Hard bound book in dust jacket, 292 pages in good condition.

- # 394z Dobyns, Stephen COLD DOG SOUP NY: Viking Penguin Inc., 1985.
Hard bound in original comic dust jacet in fine condition.
Haitian New York cab driver picks up fellow going to dispose of a dead dog. It is a Brooklyn road story as the Haitian tries to find someone to buy the dead dog. The Haitian has a view that nothing should be thrown away in New York, all things have a use and a price. He describes Haiti as though people lived in an underworld under a grate and the U.s. was above the grate. He claims the Haitians could live on what fell through the grate. A very dark book, but interesting and at times funny. Another time I wrote about this book again: different time: Weird novel of a dead dog, offered to a Chinese restaurant for cold dog soup among other things, and featuring a zanny, if not mad Haitian cab driver in Brooklyn. Interesting at times, over the top in other parts, with simply disgusting dog stories. Certainly not an animal lover's book.

These two essays by the famous travel writer are, in part, a
justification of the American Occupation, but also a documenting of

National Geographic, August, 1916. The article covers The Dominican Republic, Haiti and

One is extraordinary given the later art revival in the 1940s. Most people are familiar with
the famous photo of Hector Hyppolite in front of his home, Ici Renaissance. This 1916 magazine
has virtually the same photo of a different artist in front of his painted hut. It would
be very hard for most to tell the difference! Other photos include a great rural market,
streets, cemetery and railroad in P-a-P, arch in Les Cayes, forested mountains, rural tailor,
statue of Dessalines, a very unusual photo of the citadel and much more. A very difficult item to find.
