A NEW BOOK BY LUTZA
Haiti: Queen of Nations
The story of the world's first free Black republic — told with pride, power, and passion.
"Haiti did not just win its freedom — it proclaimed to the world that no people can be owned."
ABOUT THE BOOK
Haiti Queen of Nations is a sweeping, passionate exploration of Haiti's extraordinary legacy — from the fires of the 1791 revolution to the triumphant declaration of independence in 1804. Author Lutza weaves together history, culture, and personal reflection to illuminate why Haiti stands alone as a beacon of Black liberation, sovereignty, and resilience. This is not merely a history book — it is a love letter to a nation that changed the world.
