The guide, designed for speakers of Haitian Creole who are immigrants to the United States, offers basic information on daily life, customs, and social behavior expectations. It begins with information about immigration laws and requirements, and proceeds to these topics: employment types and practices; employment benefits; taxes; job search; resumes (with both Haitian Creole and English text) and qualifications; public services and utilities; shopping; banking; the educational system at all levels; English language instruction; laws and politics; religion in American life; legal services; etiquette; the American monetary system; weights and measures; and holidays. The text is entirely in Haitian Creole, with limited subtitles translated into English. (MSE)
