Anna Julia Cooper wrote her doctoral dissertation on the Haitian revolution - it was written in French, but I'm only finding English-language translations online so far: [Slavery and the French and Haitian Revolutionists] (http://www.amazon.com/Slavery-French-Haitian-Revolutionists-lesclavage/dp/0742544745/).
Rene Depestre is a Haitian writer whose novel [The Festival of the Greasy Pole] (http://www.amazon.com/Festival-Greasy-Pole-Books/dp/0813912814/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1263606541&sr=1-1) is a thinly veiled tale of the end of the Duvalier presidency.
