1492–1995: (The Visual Record of the Haitian People): The book features a comprehensive list of illustrations that provide a visual history of the nation from the first European contact to the late 20th century. It includes historical figures such as Toussaint Louverture, Jean-Jacques Dessalines, and Henry Christophe alongside images of landmark structures like Sans Souci Palace and the Citadel-Henry. Later entries document the 20th-century political landscape, featuring portraits of the Duvalier family, military leaders, and U.S. naval vessels. This visual archive serves as a crucial supplement to the narrative, illustrating the transition from colonial revolt to sovereign statehood and modern political transitions. The collection concludes with cultural and religious imagery, including Voodoo sacred objects and AIDS awareness posters.
