"When most people think of Haiti; many images and preconceived notions are embedded into their mind-political pandemonium, horrible ravaged land, heavily over-populated, dirt poor unpleasant people. Tragically, the truth of the matter is for most people these images and thoughts reeks into their mind and are not reassuring. Images that are portrayed in the media will usually show the worst of Haitian society and culture. The Images are usually of the worst Haitian gutters, People of Haiti are frequently portrayed to be uneducated, angry, violent, helpless and always waiting for rescue. Haiti is the Western Hemisphere''s poorest country; many people always ask or wonder -- Why is Haiti so poor? Why is Haiti always facing political turmoil? Why are so many rejected "boat people" coming to the shores of Florida? Will Haiti ever change and how? The answer to these questions is very complicated to answer and to understand." Despite the tale of tragedy and violence, epic poverty and political turmoil there is still so much beauty in this tiny island. There is beauty in the way of the people, their history, their culture and their passions. Haiti boasts a creative, exotic culture whose roots run deep from Africa to France, and to The Caribbean. Haitian art is notable worldwide from primitive styles to hand made sculptures, and to paintings that tell stories. Haiti: A different image captures a more stirring view of Haiti-- a stark land of contrast, the beauty of the land, its dynamic history and unique culture and validates why Haiti was once called "La Pearle des Antilles."

Like my first two books " Haiti's Earthquake Jan. 2010 God's manifestations", " " The great Creator, the creation and His creatures", this third one " Body, mind or soul, which one is the most powerful? " is a full colored book with poetry and pictures for the delight of my fan-readers whom I love so much. "Body, mind or soul, which one is the most powerful?" is a comparison between these three gifts received from the Creator in order to determine the power of each one. The body with its needs and false desires tends to command the mind. These few chapters: body, beauty, malady, maha samadhi show the interest of the Highest to us His creatures. However, the mind as a well-trained tool will not succumb easily to that kind of predominance, Thence we have: "Mind , the greatest tool of the world, the greatest gift of the Lord ever." ," the tamed monkey mind." Following is a guidance to the reader, the two metaphors:"The blind and the lame" and "the car, the engine, and the driver" help the reader to comprehend the role of the soul . Good reading .

Real Strength Is In The Mind And Not The Fist You seem to have forgotten who you are here. This is my house. This is not your room, it is mine. When I want you to do something, you will do it. How quickly relationships can build you up and then, like a swift hurricane, tear you down and apart blinding you with helplessness. What began as an over seas journey to teach at a school in Haiti with her new found love Raffy, becomes an unexpected storm of the misunderstood and misaddressed throws of abuse and violence. In a country where she has no family or friends except for the children she hopes to inspire and protect, Miss Dana finds her life in danger and her entire reality blown apart within the bile of the exploitation and domination of herself and those she cares most for from communities, institutions and even her lover, Raffy. How can she both protect herself and stay with the children she has fallen so in love with? Through suspense and emotional uprise, Taylor Johnson pulls the reader into a world seldom understood by outsiders and those unwilling to open their eyes to oppression and violence. A story of empowerment and hope, The Awakening Of Miss Dana brings a dark truth about the exploitation, and physical and psychological abuse that occurs within families, institutions and entire communities, into the light. ~ Opeyemi Agbaje, CEO and Executive Director of OROL (Our Right, Our Life) initiative empowering the young with knowledge of sexual and reproductive health, rights, education and gender equality.

Ladies and gentlemen what you are holding in your hands right now and about to read is the Haitian people's complaint to the world; it is their will and their vision for a new Haiti. It is the dreams and hopes of the new generation; it is a tool to help guide the Haitian people in the transition from politicians that have made questionable choices to the new visionary leaders, a tool to assist them in the process of transformation from misery to prosperity and wellbeing. This is a book that going to bring to the light who are responsible for Haitian people's misery and will explain also the self-denial of a group of Haitian in Haiti and overseas for the cause of Haiti and for the benefit of the Haitian people. This book will explain an extraordinary story of an ordinary man who has vision for Haiti's struggle. His father was murdered, his mother got kidnapped and was robbed three times, all because they spoke out for a better life, and they spoke out for peace and justice in Haiti. From 1804 to 2010, exactly 206 years of independence and 206 years of calamity, humiliation, isolation and corruption, after all those years it's still raising some fundamental questions how much more the Haitian people have to endure? How long they have to wait to get help? After the earthquake, the entire world sympathized with Haiti and gave billions to leaders and to non profit organizations that has been established in this country for years to help the people and to rebuild Haiti. After four months, yet nothing has been done and in the capital I know many hurting people who haven't received any help, not even a bottle of water. In the mean time people continue to die,suffer, and among them tension starts raising high and in my point of view, I don't see any evidence that those leaders in this country has any desire to make any changes in the direction of better quality of life for the Haitian people. Today I am seeking justice in a very different and unusual way, I want to establish for the first time in Haiti rules and principles that can't be violated by anyone and prove to the world how an ordinary man can really do an extraordinary change in a country known as a land of corruption, a land of poverty and impunity.

This book offers a critical anthropological perspective on contemporary childhood in Haiti. It is based on longitudinal ethnographic fieldwork carried out over a period of 13 years with vulnerable children in Haiti. Diane M. Hoffman raises important questions about how interventions by well-meaning foreigners and 'white saviors' often misrepresent Haitian culture and society as deficient, while privileging their own emotions alongside supposedly universal ideas about children that reinforce their own power to define and intervene in Haitian lives. She argues for a new approach to Haitian childhood that centers children's informal learning and self-education alongside indigenous spirituality and constructions of personhood that can resist the hegemony of neo-colonial and neo-liberal forces. Instead of representing the country and its children as a place of "problems to be solved," the book shows the importance prioritizing aspects of Haitian world-views in order to develop a more culturally-informed understanding of childhood in Haiti that can support genuine social change.

The essays gathered in Haiti's Literary Legacies unpack the theoretical, historical, and political resonance of the Haitian revolution across a multiplicity of European and American Romanticisms, and include discussion of Haitian, British, French, German, and U.S. American traditions. Often referred to as the only successful slave revolt in history, the revolution that forged Haiti at once fulfilled, challenged, and ultimately surpassed Enlightenment conceptions of freedom and universality in ways that became crucial to transnational Romanticism, yet scholars and historians of Romanticism are only beginning to take the measure of its impact. This collection works at the intersection of Romantic and Caribbean studies to move that project forward, showing the myriad ways that literatures of the Romantic period respond to-and are transformed by-the Revolution in Haiti. Demonstrating the Revolution's centrality to romantic writing, Haiti's Literary Legacies urges an enlarged understanding of Romanticism and of its implications for the political, historical, and ecological genealogies of the present.
