A Guide to Hayti

Originally published as a guidebook to encourage the emigration of Blacks from the United States to Haiti, this book is primarily concerned with describing the economic opportunities found in Haiti. Strongly polemical in parts due to the abolitionist fervor of the editor, it gives a wide though biased overview of economic conditions in Haiti. Its polemical slant and the lack of adequate information on the social and political conditions in Haiti at the time covered, immediately after the landmark regime of Faustin Soulouque, seem to make it of little use as a source of historical data.
