Composed of political statements, writings, and printed matter (such as flyers, newsletters, and clippings), the Documents of the Haitian Left collection chronicles Haiti's socio-political and economic conditions, United States involvement in Haiti, and the circum-Caribbean and the effects of this influence on the region. Forming the bulk of the collection, and written in English, French, and Kreyol, the papers and political statements are mostly unpublished and span the late 1970s-early 1990s. In general, the papers analyze Haiti's socio-political and economic history and development from a leftist perspective, as well as cover significant grassroots moments and issues such as the United States' handling of Haitian refugees.
