"18 Me: Fèt Drapo Ayiti is one of the rare pieces of research dealing with a 
chunk of Haiti’s History. Several authors -- such as Michel About, Claude B. 
Auguste, Max Beauvoir, R. Denis, J.C Dorsainvil and Odette Roy Fombrun, -- 
have written on the subject of the Haitian flag. But still, this new book by 
Yvrose Lubérisse is a new block in the construction of Haiti’s Archives; one 
that should be read by every Haitian and by everyone who wants to know about 
the history of the Haitian flag. The author also has chosen well the title, 
which sends two messages: one that will make the reader conscious of such a 
great national day in Haiti and also one that sends us back in history to 
give us a sense of the formation of a “nation”. This booklet is also a gift 
for teachers of  Civics. In well-written Haitian Creole, the author lays 
down the history of our flag, step-by-step. Lubérisse's book is also a model 
to encourage other teachers to produce their own materials which are fit for 
their own classrooms."
