Paradise lost : Haiti's tumultuous journey from Pearl of the Caribbean to Third World hot spot

Author:	Philippe R Girard
Publisher:	New York : Palgrave Macmillan, 2005.
Edition/Format:	eBook : Document : Biography : English : 1st edView all editions and formats
Summary:	Why has Haiti been plagued by so many woes? Why have multiple U.S. efforts to create a stable democracy in Haiti failed so spectacularly? Philippe Girard answers these and other questions, examining how colonialism and slavery have left a legacy of racial tension, both within Haiti and internationally; Haitians remain deeply suspicious of white foriegners' motives, many of whom doubt Hatians' ability to govern themselves. He also examines how Haiti's current political instability is merelya continuation of political strife that began during the War of Independence (1791-1804). Finally, Girard explores poverty's devastating impact on contemporary Haiti and argues that Haitians--particularly home-grown dictators--bear a big share of the responsibility for their nation's troubles.  Read more...
