Haiti: The Aftershocks of History

Laurent Dubois - 2013

Overview

This book examines Haiti's challenging present by delving into its intricate past. It reveals how the nation's difficulties are deeply connected to its revolutionary founding, the world's only successful slave revolt. The resulting hostility from colonial powers and internal struggles to define freedom shaped its trajectory.

Understanding Haiti requires exploring the historical forces that have contributed to its status as the poorest nation in the Western Hemisphere. This work illuminates the foundations for a potential future emergence.
