I forgot Michel-Rolph Trouillot (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michel-Rolph_Trouillot), who wrote Haiti: State against Nation. The Origins and Legacy of Duvalierism. I haven't read it but I keep meaning to read his more general work on history, Silencing the Past: Power and the Production of History.

Also, Google Books tossed up limited previews of Revolutionary freedoms : a history of survival, strength and imagination in Haiti (http://books.google.com/books?id=O-p7qRKl_G0C&lpg=PP1&ots=5e02xhWv0P&dq=Revolutionary%20freedoms%20%3A%20a%20history%20of%20survival%2C%20strength%20and%20imagination%20in%20Haiti&pg=PP1#v=onepage&q=&f=false) and The History of Haiti,/a>, whose authors may be Haitian. Amazon reviews on the latter indicated sketchy editing.

And there's the Haitian Book Centre (http://www.haitianbookcentre.com/en/index.php), which has history books (and much more) by Haitian authors in multiple languages. Plus they are donating $2 of every sale to earthquake relief.
