Making broad connections between Haiti and the rest of the Caribbean, contributors provide pedagogical guidance on how to approach the country from different lenses in course curricula. They offer practical suggestions, theories on a wide variety of texts, examples of syllabi, and classroom experiences.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eTeaching Haiti\u003c\/i\u003e dispels stereotypes associating Haiti with disaster, poverty, and negative ideas of Vodou, going beyond the simplistic neocolonial, imperialist, and racist descriptions often found in literary and historical accounts. Instructors in diverse subject areas discuss ways of reshaping old narratives through women's and gender studies, poetry, theater, art, religion, language, politics, history, and popular culture, and they advocate for including Haiti in American and Latin American studies courses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePortraying Haiti not as \"the poorest nation in the Western Hemisphere\" but as a nation with a multifaceted culture that plays an important part on the world's stage, this volume offers valuable lessons about Haiti's past and present related to immigration, migration, locality, and globality. The essays remind us that these themes are increasingly relevant in an era in which teachers are often called to address neoliberalist views and practices and isolationist politics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eContributors: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Cécile Accilien Jessica Adams \u003cbr\u003eAlessandra Benedicty-Kokken Anne M.
