In Histoire d’Haïti, Madiou continued to work as a Haitian author before combating the portraits of Haiti on the foundation of the country. It covers an important part when it writes the first national history complete by a Haitian author. The story was not only valuable to Haitians, for all Africans in the Diaspora. To do so, his work, Madiou watched French writings and oral stories. He interviewed former revolutionary veterans during his trip across the country with General Joseph Balthazar Inginac, Secretary General of President Jean-Pierre Boyer. Her story tried to repel the reputation of the black leader of the Haitian Revolution, especially to Toussaint Louverture, showing it as a rebellion against the terrible slavery oppression.
Historian Beaubrun Ardouin, contrary to Madiou’s work, showed the Haitian Revolution in a different context of Latin America’s independence and refused to put him in a racial character. Ardouin tried to make Haiti come into the United States of America in the 1830s when Madiou insisted on what made Haiti unique.

Dans l’histoire d’Haïti, Madiou a continua de travailler en tant qu’auteur haïtien avant de combattre les portraits negatifs d’Haïti lors de la fondation du pays. Il couvre une partie importante de la première histoire nationale complète d’un auteur haïtien. L’histoire n’était pas seulement valable pour les Haïtiens, mais aussi pour tous les Africains de la diaspora. Pour son travail, Madiou rechercha les écrits français, mais aussi les histoires orales. Il a interviewé un ancien vétéran de la révolution lors de son voyage à travers le pays avec le général Joseph Balthazar Inginac, secrétaire général du president Jean-Pierre Boyer. Son histoire tente de réfuter la réputation des leaders noirs de la révolution haïtienne, en particulier celle de Toussaint Louverture, en la présentant comme une rébellion contre la terrible oppression de l’esclavage.

L’historien Beaubrun Ardouin, contrairement à l’œuvre de Madiou, a présenté la Révolution haïtienne dans un contexte de l’indépendance de l’Amérique latine et a refusé de lui donner un caractère racial.

10 Questions With Singer-Songwriter Mikaelle Cartright

Mikaelle Cartright has a voice that’s like tropical silk. The New York-born, singer-songwriter has a jazzy style that recalls the styles of singers like Anita Baker with a little hint of Shirley Bassey. How did she develop her jazzy style? What role do her parents play in her support system as a singer-songwriter? Read on to find out. Kreyolicious: Your name is Mikaelle, no doubt stemming from the name Michael, which means Who Can Be Like God ? What is the most extraordinary thing that’s happened to your life that has had you saying the same phrase? Mikaelle Cartright: Correct, my name means “Who is like God”. My existence causes me to ask that constantly. My birth was a miracle. My mother almost lost me. She was placed on bed rest somewhere around the fourth month. The muscles of her uterus were giving out and the doctor said I was going to just fall out. The medication, some hormone treatment, was barely available and when Baby Doc fell, it was chaos. My mother was, thank God, ...

Haiti’s First Lady of Rap, and Hip Hop Kreyol?

Eunide Edouarin—the Haiti-based rapper more popularly known as Princess Eud —doesn’t like to do interviews. “When I’m being interviewed,” the raptress contends, “I have so many things going on my head at the same time that I sometimes answer questions they never asked me, and I’m kinda shy.” Yet shyness is a quality that very few would identity with Edouarin. Take a performance for example in which the self-described homebody held her own alongside CaRiMi , one of the most popular Haitian pop bands on the market, during one of her first big performances in New York. Slithering sexily onstage, the singer-rapper rapped effortlessly on the band’s hit “Fanm Nan Move”, before dissolving into a verse of her own song “Hey” . It’s utter confidence and bravado that shines through; no signs of timidity. Edouarin is a self-proclaimed traditional girl, but her start in the Haitian rap music game was far from conventional. While hanging at a local radio station in Port-au-Prince, she was invite...

Mia Lopez is the CEO and President of M.I.A. Media, Inc, a public relations firm based in Miami that caters to the Haitian entertainment industry. Lopez is a low-key person, but among her peers and industry insiders, her work doesn’t go unnoticed. Of her, Patrick Desvarieux, the founder of Kompa Magazine, said: “She is a natural. A people’s person. One of the best at what she does. A master of her craft.” Nick Jean of KalePwa.com calls her a pioneer. “She helped take the Haitian Community into modern times [in terms of her public relations work],” he contends. After being in the mainstream music industry, singer-songwriter Mickael Music wanted to enter the Haitian music market with her Bel Project, but wanted to go about it the right way. She recalls, “I asked around, ‘Who is the best PR marketing person in the Haitian music industry’? For the people that even knew what that meant all said, “Mia Lopez”, as if she [had] created the title in the Haitian music industry. When I say “ev...
