Hyppolite Pierre is adjunct professor of comparative politics at the Community College of Baltimore and editor for COMAR and the Maryland Register in Maryland's office of the Secretary of State. He received his M.S. in political science from Southern Connecticut State University.
Hyppolite Pierre has emerged as one of the most thoughtful and
provocative young Haitian scholars in the United States....Pierre's
diagnosis of Haiti's political ailments is dead-on.... As Pierre
passionately argues in his new work, although more than two hundred
years have passed since gaining independence, most Haitians can
barely perceive their freedom in the midst of the lawlessness and
deprivation that threatens to keep both democracy and development
at bay. -- Daniel P. Erikson, senior associate for U.S. policy and
director of Caribbean programs at the Inter-American Dialogue
...Haiti, Rising Flames From Burning Ashes is a seminal work, which
dissects the country's embattled past and seeks answers to the
complex sociopolitical and economic problems plaguing this
developing nation. This fascinating historical work will be useful
for policymakers, NGOs and those seeking to eradicate Haiti's
problems. -- Jerome Teelucksingh, The University of the West Indies
* Journal of Haitian Studies *
Hyppolite Pierre has written an important and provocative book, one
that should enhance his reputation as a voice to be reckoned with
in Haitian political circles.Pierre's strategy of grounding his
argument in the unfulfilled revolution of 1804 is insightful and
wise...He brings impressive historical knowledge to the task and
deftly uses the context of Haitian independence. -- G.A. Rosso,
Professor of English, Southern Connecticut State University *
Institute For Research In Social Sciences and Politics *
