Haiti in Focus: A Guide to the People, Politics, and Culture

by: Charles Arthur
During two centuries of independence from colonial rule, Haiti has developed into a society quite distinct from those found in the rest of the region. Hollywood-derived images of black magic and Graham Greene-inspired conceptions of a "nightmare republic" do scant justice to the reality of life for those who make up the third largest population in the Caribbean. How did the slaves of France's most prosperous colony defeat the armies of Napoleon, Spain, and Britain? Why did the U.S. occupation of 1915-34 fail to establish a plantation economy in Haiti? Haiti in Focus is an authoritative and up-to-date guide to this fascinating country.

The government has said that the disaster killed 316000 people and displaced another 1.5 million. More than 500000 people are still living in temporary settlement camps since the quake occurred. The country continues to struggle to recover two years after the catastrophe, despite the billions of dollars in foreign aid pledged to help rebuild it. Andy Gallacher reports from Port-au-Prince, Haiti's capital.
