Haiti is a Caribbean country located on the western portion of the island of Hispaniola, which it shares with the neighboring Dominican Republic. The country was colonized by the French in the 17th century and became an independent nation in 1804, making it the first black-led republic in the world. Haiti has a rich cultural heritage with a blend of African, French, and Creole influence reflected in its art, music, and cuisine. Haiti is one of the poorest countries in the Western Hemisphere with a high level of poverty and a challenging economic situation. The country has been plagued by political instability, corruption, and natural disasters, including the 2010 earthquake that left over 200,000 people dead and caused significant damage throughout the country. Despite these challenges, Haiti has a resilient and vibrant population that has produced notable figures in literature, art, and politics, and continues to work towards overcoming the difficulties it faces.

When originally published in German in 1924, this volume was hailed as the first modern, comprehensive archaeological overview of an emerging area of the world, now known as the Caribbean islands. Sven Loven decided to update and reissue the work in English, which he thought to be the future international language of scholarship. This work is a classic, with enduring interpretations, broad geographic range, and an eager audience.

This book is the first critical anthology in English on the history and legacy of race in the Caribbean. It brings together the major debates, lines of inquiry, and theories around race and racism that have emerged out of the Caribbean from the beginning of European colonization at the end of the fifteenth century to the period of decolonization in the aftermath of World War II. This critical anthology stakes out the unique contribution made by the region to the global history of race. The Caribbean Race Reader provides students and scholars of the region with vital access to some of the most important contributions on race and Caribbean society, many of which are difficult to access, and assembles them together as part of a series of key debates. At a time when the searing realities of race and antiblack racism stand out as global, existential crises, this volume both documents the Caribbean’s important contribution to global histories of race and provides an excellent overview of the quest by the region’s radical intelligentsia to undo racism’s contemporary legacies.

Now in its third edition, First Americans has been fully updated to trace Native Americans' experiences through the 2020 election and the Biden administration, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the crisis of murdered and missing indigenous women. This book provides a comprehensive history of Native Americans from their earliest appearances in North America to the present, highlighting the complexity and diversity of their cultures and experiences. Contrasting the misconception that Native Americans were consistently victims without power, native voices permeate the text and shape its narrative, underlining the vitality of native peoples and cultures in the context of regional, continental, and global developments. The new edition highlights the role of Native Americans as agents of resistance and progress, rooted in the perspective that their activism has been instrumental throughout history and in the present day. To enrich student understanding, the book also includes a variety of pedagogical tools including short biographical profiles, key review questions, a rich series of maps and illustrations, chapter chronologies, a glossary, and recommendations for further reading. Spanning centuries of developments into the present day, First Americans is the approachable, essential student introduction to Native American history.
